20:55 Newmarket (July), Friday 27 June 2025 – Trust A Trader Fillies’ Handicap (Class 4, 6f, Good to Firm, 0-85)

·

This 6f fillies’ handicap features a field of eight and is expected to be run at a strong pace, with early dash from Profit Refused and Angel Shared setting it up for stalkers or late closers. There is no discernible draw bias at Newmarket’s July course over this trip, so positioning and pace engagement are more likely to influence the outcome than stall placement.

Key Contenders and Main Dangers

Profit Refused (TFR 91) is a pace-forcing 4yo and brings current form and tactical speed to the table, winning two of her last three starts. She made all at Chester most recently and handled the quick surface well. She’s suited by a strongly-run 6f and looks to have found her level in this 0–85 bracket. Proven and fit, she’s one of the more solid propositions.

Sea Emily Run (TFR 92) won gamely at Chester in a race run at a good gallop and shapes as a filly still progressing. She’s never raced beyond 6f but has hit the line well and is bred for further, suggesting this stiff 6f should suit. A hold-up style leaves her a shade dependent on how the race unfolds, but she is promising and from a yard in good form.

Angel Shared (TFR 91) has solid 5f form and showed versatility when leading at Nottingham last time. She shapes like the pace collapsing late would suit and is highlighted by Timeform as one who should be favoured by the strong forecast gallop. She’s fit, consistent, and acts well on quick ground.

Cressida Wildes (TFR 90) has run respectably in similar company and was noted for being beaten when well below her Betfair SP last time, often a signal of potential misfire or poor tactical setup. She’s a pace-tracker with enough resolution to hit the frame and has been relatively consistent.

Mercury Day (TFR 90) is better over further, shaping well over 7f last time but could find this trip too sharp unless there’s a strong collapse in pace. She’s not obviously progressive, but does handle quick ground and is capable of placing at her best.

Handle With Care (TFR 88) has a solid profile and runs with credit in various scenarios. The 6f may be on the sharp side at this level, though she’s adaptable and has Hollie Doyle booked. Might find one or two with a bit more zip.

Interesting Outsiders and Trends

Blue Zodiac (TFR 85) and Jewel of London (TFR 82) both return off seasonal reappearances. The former is lightly raced and may improve for the run at Leicester; a market move would be significant. Jewel of London, though from a stable with a good record when sending just one runner to a card, has yet to show form of this calibre and appears out of sorts.

Trainers with recent wins in similar Newmarket handicaps include Tom Clover and Ollie Sangster, both adept with younger fillies. No notable course records for this exact race, but yards are in fair form.

Profit Refused – 8.5/10 (Proven, in form, track-suited)

Cressida Wildes – 6.5/10 (Capable, consistent, frame chance)

Mercury Day – 6/10 (Needs collapse, trip doubt)

Handle With Care – 6/10 (Reliable but maybe outpaced late)

Blue Zodiac – 4.5/10 (Needs to bounce back, watch market)

Jewel of London – 3.5/10 (Little recent encouragement)


Private Tissue Estimate

Profit Refused – 3/1

Angel Shared – 6/1

Cressida Wildes – 15/2

Handle With Care – 8/1

Mercury Day – 10/1

Summary

This looks a well-matched fillies’ handicap with a likely strong pace. Profit Refused brings current form and proven front-running speed, while Sea Emily Run is on the up and could pounce late if the pace collapses. Angel Shared is well positioned to capitalise on that scenario too, while Cressida Wildes holds consistent form for a place angle.

Smart Play
