3.40 The European Breeders Fund Fillies stakes (Handicap) Class 2 7F GTF

1 - Medley – Consistent filly who finally came good at Newmarket last time when holding on from the fast finishing Worlds Heroine, she deserved her success but doesn’t look anything out of the ordinary. The 2lbs rise isn’t likely to prove too much off a concern to her, as she is likely to run her race again here today. The ground and trip are ideal for her and this track should play to her strengths. She has claims from top weight in this handicap and should be thereabouts at the finish.

My Tissue Price – 7/1

2 – Our Faye – No contest for listed class fillies last time over a mile where she may have not seen out the trip having made progress early into the straight before he effort flattened out and no surprise to see her drop back in trip to the 7F over this stiff track. Winner against Wokingham winner Dark missile the time before on quick ground she showed she does have speed for a more sounder surface and is highly progressive. The return to 7F shouldn’t be a problem and she has landed both her starts at this track so far this season and posses a turn of foot that can be used to great effect ness over this trip today.

My Tissue Price – 4/1

3 – Miss Lucifer – Gives this handicap an extra edge to it with some good handicap efforts recently. The first of those was a solid looking 4th at Goodwood to Docofthebay a consistent class 2 handicapper which came on either side of two good runs against the highly talented Lovelace who has landed a listed class event since those efforts. Never fails to give her running on quick ground placing on all starts so far she deserves a handicap success this season for consistence and based on the Goodwood form she shouldn’t be far off this handicap today and may use more forceful tactics which was seen to good effect at Newmarket.

My Tissue Price – 7/2

4 – Steam Cuisine – Sent of favourite last time at Newmarket when contesting a race similar to this but at a slightly lower level and will be looking for revenge today. The winner of that race was down to go in this but has been pulled out for other engagements. The form of that Newmarket race looks a bit hit and miss and Lavenham can’t be used as useful yardstick as she flopped this day. Raised 10lbs for winning at the end of June she has had two chances of her revised mark and even though not beaten far she has failed to find the improvement required winning at this higher level.

My Tissue price – 10/1

5 – Perfect Star – Course and distance winner when narrowly beating Gyroscope of Sir Michael Stoute and has turned out to justified that result with the better follow up form. She has bumped into a progressive handicapper in Shevchenko who was once considered pattern class before taking so long to lose the maiden tag. The form of his running against that rival stands up having finished 2nd twice to that rival resulting in small rise in weight each time. She has a harder task today but the 3rd winning a low-grade handicap the other day has franked the form and with course experience and ground and trip suiting she should once again give her running.

My Tissue Price – 9/2

6 – Medicea Sidera – Non-Runner

7 – Gaelic Princess – Winner of this handicap 12 months ago when beating Gloved Hand something Medley failed to do recently off similar terms, however Gloved hand was unlucky that day and maybe should have won this handicap and has certainly improved, however that is not taking anything away from the now 7yo Gaelic Princess who has 3 course and distance wins and plummeted in the weights to 4lbs below that winning mark last year, however she has come up against a field with progressive rivals in compared to last year and is out of the handicap by 3lbs making just 1lb well in on last years mark. Never fails to give her running at this track and could well run into a place.

My Tissue price – 6/1

8 – Regal Quest – well beaten on only start at this track on good to soft ground over a mile and connections will be looking for a better effort today dropped back to a trip she has recorded her only victory to date. Stable has favourite in this race in the shape of Our Faye, but the second string that receives weight all-round has a interesting jockey booking in Franny Norton who has been seen to good effect in the past on horses for Sly Kirk. Has found it hard going at a lower level and may need soft ground to be at her best based on Leicester form. Today’s race should be more fact finding about how much ability she does have having bolted up at Kempton at this time 12 month ago.

My Tissue Price – 16/1

Tissue – Miss Lucifer 7/2, Our Faye 4/1, Perfect Star 9/2, Gaelic Princess 6/1, Medley 7/1, Steam Cuisine 10/1, Regal Quest 16/1.  

Verdict – Our Faye has progressed well this season and could well be up to landing this handicap and setting a personal best. Gaelic Princess is always respected at this venue, as she looks to follow up her success from 12 months ago. Perfect Star and Miss Lucifer are two of five 3yo's contesting this race and rates as the best bets from that age group.

SelectionMiss Lucifer 2pt win @ 4-1 (BF 5.5)
