Disappointed at Wolverhampton four weeks ago but she had been running well in defeat beforehand; stamina for this trip not yet assured and a tongue tie needs to have a positive effect.

Five wins last year, two of them at this track over the extended 1m (stays 1m2f); placed on her last three starts and Tommie Jakes' 7lb claim will be an asset today; unlikely to be too far away.

3 yo Filly

OR: 70

Form & Verdict
Still a maiden but in a first-time tongue-tie (replacing cheekpieces) she pushed a progressive filly close over 1m2f at Beverley in early July; back to 1m with blinkers added and with a 68-day absence to overcome, but likely to go well even so.

Form & Verdict
Consistent filly who didn't need to raise her game to win a 7f Southwell novice 17 days ago; enters handicaps off what's probably the right sort of mark, but 1m might be a better trip for her.

J: Theodore Ladd

T: Michael Appleby

Out of the frame in eight starts but she has hinted at ability, as when beaten just over 4l into fifth of ten in this headgear combination at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last time; form of that race has worked out well including subsequent wins by the second (twice) and third; interesting.

Betting Forcast

6/4 Phantasy Mac, 10/1 Present Moment, 5/2 Irresistable, 8/1 Deep Sigh, 4/1 All Go, 20/1 Rumourmonger, 100/1 Elementofsurprise

Verdict

It wouldn’t be at all surprising to see PHANTASY MAC (nap) go in again despite her getting even higher in the weights. Irresistable comes with risks on a few counts but she’s still feared most, as All Go doesn’t look strikingly well treated for her first handicap.[Alistair Jones]
