Betway Sprint Maiden Stakes

Off time: 15:01 | Winning time: 1m 14.02s

(10)

Arctic Angel³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Queally| T: J R Fanshawe

9/1

Cost £50,000 as a yearling. Failed to make the frame in two starts so far and will most likely be seen to better effect in handicaps down the line.

Form: 442-

(7)

Cee Jay^v²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 59

6/1

Cost 65,000 gns as a two-year-old. More exposed than most of these and has made little impact in a handicap last time out from a mark of 60 so looks likely to struggle again here.

Form: 747-354

(5)

Q Cee⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Lulu Stanford⁽⁵⁾| T: E Stanford| OR: 65

9/2

May have finished closer to the principles last time out with a clear run but needs more to get involved here. Back up in trip.

Form: 8453-9

(3)

Royboy¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: Ollie Pears

100/1

Shown very little in his first two starts and qualifies for a mark after this race. Probably best watched.

Form: 78

Song Of Shadows^t1⁵⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Wigham

13/8

Finished second in a reasonable looking Leicester maiden as a two-year-old for Charlie Appleby. Bought cheaply in the summer and market can guide on expectations returning from a long break.

Form: 92/1-

(1)

Dandilion^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: A M Hales

14/1

Performed with credit on second start at Newcastle, fading late. However, that looked a weak affair and plenty more needed here.

Form: 317952

(4)

Grainne's Dream^v²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J F Egan| T: W McCreery| OR: 66

7/2

Bought for 50,000 Euro as a yearling. Best performances to date have come over this trip at Dundalk and not without a chance on that piece of form. Could well be a canny piece of placement by her trainer.

Form: 327455

(8)

London Rebel²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: R Spencer

20/1

Bought for £42,000 as a yearling and the booking of Graham Lee is a plus but having not seen the racecourse as a two-year-old and missing the majority of this season, well-being has to be called into question.

Form:

(6)

Mistry⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Liam Keniry| T: M D I Usher

100/1

Returned from over a year off with a low-key effort last time out and hard to fancy off the back of that.

Form: 0-7

Waggle¹²

Weight: 9-5| Age: 3

T: M Wigham J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Song Of Shadows (13/8), Grainne's Dream (7/2), Q Cee (9/2), Cee Jay (6/1), Arctic Angel (9/1), Dandilion (14/1), Waggle (16/1), London Rebel (20/1), Mistry (100/1), Royboy (100/1)

While GRAINNE'S DREAM is far more exposed than most in this field, her Irish trainer may have found a nice spot for her in this weak affair. Waggle didn't show a great deal on debut but wasn't without market support and may show more here. Dandilion has a nice draw and performed with some credit last time out, if she comes on for that run there's some hope she could run a place. 1. Grainne's Dream 2. Waggle 3. Dandilion
