Sugar Hill Babe¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 85| D

11/4

Speedy mare who bounced back to form when making all at Nottingham (5f) on her penultimate start and backed that up despite facing competition for the lead when second of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good) 18 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 6-72012

(2)

Miss Show Off²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: C G Cox| OR: 84| D

7/2

Proved better than ever when winning 5-runner handicap at Salisbury (5f, firm) last month and not seen to best effect when ninth of 13 in handicap (17/2) at Goodwood (5f, good) 29 days ago, not clear run 2f out. Current mark demands that bit more but she's one to consider in a wide-open affair.

Form: 48-6419

(6)

Glamorous Breeze^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Gina Mangan| T: C Mason| OR: 83| D

9/2

Recorded a third victory at Chepstow (5f) following an 8-month layoff in May and, up 4 lb, shaped better than the bare result when third of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good) 18 days ago, caught furthest away from favoured stand-side rail. Ought to be competitive again.

Form: 8813-13

(7)

Grace Angel^b,t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: A J Farragher| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 79| CD

9/1

C&D winner who was successful twice on turf last summer and produced one of her better recent efforts when third at Bath (5f) in April. Not in same form since but possible she'll sharpen up for her latest Nottingham effort which came on the back of wind surgery.

Form: 559356

Spherical²³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 85| D

11/2

Yarmouth debut winner 13 months ago who doubled her tally granted the run of the race in novice at Kempton (6f) in October. Not disgraced in face of stiffish task when eighth in Newmarket listed contest on final start and this more suitable on return/handicap debut.

Form: 105218-

Amestris³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: M L W Bell| OR: 84| D

14/1

Followed cosy Lingfield novice success last June with a respectable effort in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. Progress stalled thereafter but shaped as if she'd come on for her reappearance (also had wind op) when eighteenth of 22 in handicap at York (5f) 5 weeks ago. This can reveal more.

Form: 97823-0

(4)

Secret Mistral¹²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 73| CD

13/2

C&D winner who went in again twice on AW during the winter. Absent since finishing fifth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford (5f) in February but fact she's gone well fresh in the past rates a plus and interesting if the market speaks in her favour.

Form: 781-615

Forecasts

Sugar Hill Babe (11/4), Miss Show Off (7/2), Glamorous Breeze (9/2), Spherical (11/2), Secret Mistral (13/2), Grace Angel (9/1), Amestris (14/1)

A wide-open fillies' handicap with the narrow vote in favour of MISS SHOW OFF. Successful on her penultimate start at Salisbury, Clive Cox's filly wasn't seen to best effect in a stronger race at Goodwood 4 weeks ago and a better showing could well be on the cards from this low-mileage filly. Top weight Sugar Hill Babe arrives in form and feared, with Grace Angel and the returning Spherical completing the shortlist.
