EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes (Plus 10)

Little Legs¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| D

11/10

Showed good speed to win on her second start having learnt an awful lot from her first start and putting that experience to good use. Both those starts came on the AW (Newcastle) but this will be a different experience for her (first-time on turf).

Form: 31

Deia Glory²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 82

10/11

Maiden but has shown that she is capable of winning a race at this level with her 2nd in the Hilary Needler on her turf debut standing out (winner has won a York nursery since). Flew too high in the Queen Mary last time; this is more her level.

Form: 5320

Kyroc⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: S Corbett| OR: 56

66/1

First run for this yard having shown only moderate form for Paul Midgley in four starts having been dropped to a claimer last time. Has shown some good speed but in reality faces a stiff task here.

Form: 0556

Leebellnsummerbee

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: D McCain Jnr

28/1

Will have to be useful to make a winning debut although she does have some winners in her pedigree. Price halved from yearling to two-year-old though and best watched unless there is some market confidence.

Macho Lady¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S A Gray| T: D O'Meara

50/1

Offered something to work on from her debut but failed to build on that second time out and looked more and more one for the longer term. Would be a big surprise if she were to travel the market leaders in this.

Form: 85

(5)

Strip Search

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: D C Griffiths

28/1

Newcomer who is a half-sister to 5f winner Rock On Candy although the yard isn't noted for debutante winners in this sphere. Only of interest if there is any market support and most likely to need this experience.

Lang Toun Lady²⁸

Weight: 9-0| Age: 2

T: K Dalgleish J: Rowan Scott

Forecasts

Deia Glory (10/11), Little Legs (11/10), Lang Toun Lady (25/1), Leebellnsummerbee (28/1), Strip Search (28/1), Macho Lady (50/1), Kyroc (66/1)

This really looks like it concerns two runners with Little Legs having to give away a 7lb penalty for beating an odds-on chance at Newcastle on the Tapeta last time having made a creditable debut on the same surface. DEIA GLORY is the slight preference though on the basis of her 2nd in the Hilary Needler getting the weight off her main rival. All of the others look to be facing an uphill battle with the two newcomers Leebellnsummerbee and Strip Search of most interest.
