Fontwell 5:15 Result

Small 5-runner mares' bumper with little depth of proven form. Uptoyourselves is the only runner in the field with a recent winning effort, having scored last time out (form reads 6/7P1-), suggesting she's progressive and has already shown she handles this sort of contest. Christian Williams's Main De Fer (h) is unraced and a filly by an unproven-for-bumpers sire, so she's hard to trust off no form despite being fancied on breeding. Petite Poet has only a 5th and a 2nd (50) and is stepping up in experience, while Silver Whisper's form of 7-3 shows a big improvement latest start but was still beaten. Milliedram's solitary '5' form line and 116-day break make her the outsider on ability shown. Trainer Lydia Richards is a smaller operation but clearly training this filly to win judged by the upward-trending form figures, and a mare who's already won this type of contest gets the vote over those needing to graduate. The rest of this field looks moderate, so proven scoring ability should carry real weight in a race like this where little else stands out. I'll side with the horse that has already proven she can win, rather than paying up for barely-tested types.
