Fairfax & Favor EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes (Plus 10) (Div 1)

Off time: 13:26 | Winning time: 1m 41.13s

(3)

Boscastle

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Liam Keniry| T: H Morrison

33/1

First foal out of a maiden dam who was a half-sister to the French Group 1 winner between 1m and 1m2f, Nebraska Tornado. Cost 60,000 guineas but probably facing a tall order first time out.

Form:

Gift of Hera¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: M Dwyer| T: S Kirk

33/1

Unraced daughter of Nathaniel and a half-sister to a couple of useful performers but always towards the rear on her debut at Goodwood and likely to need more time.

Form: 8

(2)

Hadith

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby

5/2

By New Approach out of a half-sister to French 1m winner Discursus. Holds a Group 1 Fillies' Mile entry and yard's juveniles always command respect. Looks a likely type first time out if market vibes are positive.

Late Change⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: D M Simcock

33/1

Offered something to work on when seventh of nine first time out over 7f here last month but breeding suggests she will need middle-distances.

Form: 7

(5)

Must Be Magic

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

16/1

Camelot colt out of a dam who won over 1m. Yard has sent out a couple of winning juvenile newcomers this year and possibly worth considering if there was any market support.

Form:

(1)

Narodowa¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ted Durcan| T: D R Lanigan

50/1

A half-sister to several winners, though has shown only limited promise in two maidens at big odds so far, though her most recent effort at Salisbury was a step forward. Likely to find a few too good.

Form: 05

(8)

Sheikha Reika¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian

8/13

Expensive 550,000 guineas Shamardal filly who shaped encouragingly on her debut over 1m at Ascot (good to soft) when finishing a runner-up to Soliloquy. Doing her best work at the finish that day and an obvious player with better to come.

Form: 2

(7)

Stream Song³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| BF

11/2

Beautifully-bred, being a half-sister to the Group 1 winner Journey, but failed to build on a promising debut over 7f when turned over at odds-on over 1m at Doncaster last month. Questions to answer but remains with potential.

Form: 74

Weight: 9-6| Age: 2

Forecasts

Sheikha Reika (8/13), Hadith (5/2), Stream Song (11/2), Quargent (6/1), Must Be Magic (16/1), Gift of Hera (33/1), Late Change (33/1), Boscastle (33/1), Narodowa (50/1)

Hadith holds a Group 1 entry and is clearly a newcomer to note but it's going to take a big effort to overcome fellow Fillies' Mile entry SHEIKHA REIKA who shaped with distinct promise in a hot-looking maiden at Ascot earlier this month, doing her best work at the finish. Quargent is clearly another decent prospect but the concession of 6lb all round is probably a big ask.
