Room Fourteen 6/1 — British Stallion Studs EBF Premier Fillies' Handicap Stakes (GBBPlus Race) (3:35 UK)
Room Fourteen races off 122lb (8-10), 16lb below Salamanca City at the top of the weights (138lb/9-12). Her form figures (312113) show two wins from her last three starts - a sharp upward curve that suggests she's already better than her current Official Rating, even shouldering more this time.
Tips by day: Thursday 10 September · Friday 11 September · Saturday 12 September · Sunday 13 September · All days
Varzi 16/1
K R Burke's yard is in excellent current form, and Varzi fits the pattern: runner-up on debut before scoring next time out (form: 21), a clear improving profile. At 12/1 in a race headed by an unbeaten but as-yet-unextended favourite, the traveling form and the yard's momentum make Varzi the value pick over the market leader.
Backup: Nabati (1/1)
Espona Bay 28/1
Espona Bay's recent form figures (133513) stand out in this field - two wins and three places from her last six starts shows real consistency at this level. Trainer Scott Dixon saddles three in this race, but Espona Bay is clearly the pick of his string on figures alone.
Backup: Quiet Resolve (40/1)
Final Objective 9/4
Final Objective holds a Racing Post Rating of 118, second only to the favourite Pershaada (123) in this field, and his form figures (27412) show a horse still on the way up rather than levelling off. James Doyle takes the ride for Hamad Al Jehani, and that Racing Post Ratings trajectory makes him the pick ahead of the shorter-priced favourite.
Backup: Pershaada (6/1)
Caballo De Mar 5/6
Caballo De Mar steps into a stiff test of stamina over two miles that should suit a horse whose form has been building toward this trip. Oisin Murphy is riding as well as anyone in the country right now, and that combination edges it for me over the favourite Queenstown.
Backup: Queenstown (13/8)
Room Fourteen 6/1 ★ NAP
Room Fourteen races off 122lb (8-10), 16lb below Salamanca City at the top of the weights (138lb/9-12). Her form figures (312113) show two wins from her last three starts - a sharp upward curve that suggests she's already better than her current Official Rating, even shouldering more this time.
Backup: Salamanca City (14/1)
She's Got A Way 11/4
K R Burke has gone straight to Ryan Moore for this unexposed maiden despite no form figures on the board - a booking of that calibre for a first/second-time-out filly is a strong signal of stable confidence that's worth siding with over the more exposed favourite.
Backup: Victoria Night (4/5)
Henley On Thames 9/2
Henley On Thames arrives with the form figures of the field: 62211, two wins from her last two starts. That upward trajectory has her joint-favourite in the market, and with David Egan continuing aboard for Kevin Philippart De Foy, the formline points to more to come rather than a plateau.
Backup: Innichen (11/1)
Fans Favourite 4/1
Fans Favourite carries just 128lb (9-2), 14lb below top-weights Spirit Genie and Almekarem (142lb/10-2), and her form figures (311531) - two wins from her last three including last time out - suggest she is racing well ahead of that mark. A weight-advantaged handicapper in form is hard to overlook.
Backup: Almekarem (7/2)
