The Flying Ginger^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 76| D

14/1

Winless this term but she did fare better than of late from an easing mark when fourth of 15 in handicap (22/1) at York (10.2f, good) 11 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Not dismissed lightly on that back of that.

Misty Dancer²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 80| D

5/2

5/2, career best when winning 6-runner maiden at Goodwood (9.9f, good) 20 days ago, looking better the further she went. That may not prove her limit now tackling handicaps and she makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 5421

Golden Melody¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74| D

9/1

Largely consistent this campaign and, having slipped in weights, she regained the winning thread when taking 9-runner Thirsk handicap (1m, heavy) 12 days ago. 4 lb rise may well just leave her vulnerable, however.

Form: 433731

Dungar Glory¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁵⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 79

12/1

Going through a good spell at present, doubling career tally at Ripon (1m) in August prior to good 1½ lengths second of 9 to Golden Melody in handicap at Thirsk (1m, heavy) 12 days ago, running on. Should continue in form.

Form: 356212

Remembering^h1³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 79

4/1

Frankel filly. Fair form all 3 starts to date, off the mark in 7-runner Catterick novice (12.1f), racing clear and closed down only briefly 1f out. In excellent hands and highly likely there's more to come now handicapping. Hood goes on.

Form: 321

Smiling Jayne²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 77| D

13/2

Winner at Pontefract in May. 13/2, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to soft) 20 days ago, looking unfortunate to bump into one. No reason why she won't go well again.

Form: 331442

My Little Queens²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70| CD

4/1

Successful 3 times last term, including on final start over C&D 12 months ago. Added to her tally from 6 lb lower mark on return at Wetherby (10f) and remained in form, unlucky not to finish closer when fifth in 14-runner handicap at Newcastle (10f) 3 weeks ago. Not discounted.

Form: 1-12525

Bollin Margaret^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| CD

25/1

Landed this race from a 10 lb higher mark last season. Has proved more miss than hit so far this campaign but one of her better efforts (in cheekpieces) when fourth of 6 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, firm) 13 days ago, Drop back in trip a plus and not discounted.

Form: 378574

Celestial Star²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: G Lee| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 68

66/1

Fifth of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 27 days ago, struggling to land a blow on the back of a sluggish start. Assessor steadily relinquishing his grip but she needs to find some improvement for the extra distance here.

Form: 234255

Cosa Sara¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 59| C

40/1

Three wins from 12 runs this year and made the frame on 4 of her last 5 starts on turf at up to 11f. Not seen to best effect in steadily-run affair at Newcastle latest and whilst this tougher, she's no forlorn hope for each-way purposes.

Form: 233397

(8)

Give Grace³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: S A Gray| T: I Jardine| OR: 61

33/1

Harzand filly who ran her best race to date when third in a C&D handicap at the start of last month, upsides over 2f out but not quicken late on. Proved too free and never landed a blow when fifth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 33 days ago.

Form: 40-6735

Forecasts

Misty Dancer (5/2), My Little Queens (4/1), Remembering (4/1), Smiling Jayne (13/2), Golden Melody (9/1), Dungar Glory (12/1), The Flying Ginger (14/1), Bollin Margaret (25/1), Give Grace (33/1), Cosa Sara (40/1), Celestial Star (66/1)

A smashing fillies' handicap with the vote in favour of 3-y-o MISTY DANCER. Having showed race-by-race progress on all-weather, she cleared away impressively to open her account at Goodwood 3 weeks ago and it's feasible to think there's more to come again now handicapping. C&D winner My Little Queens caught the eye at Newcastle recently and is feared along with the improving Remembering.
