Horse A-Z

Horse silk
14/1
€15,000 yearling. Second foal. Dam French 6f-1m winner (inc at 2), closely related to French 6f 2yo winner Gwenhwyfar. Top stable's juveniles have begun well enough (2-9) and she can probably have a say if overcoming her draw.
2
(9)
Horse silk
50/1
(10,000gns vendor yearling). First foal. Dam French 1m AW winner. Stable's 2yos average 9% over past five seasons, and this is their first juvenile runner of this season. Recent runners going well enough. Poor draw here, but market check advised.
4
(7)
Horse silk
11/2
Came in for some support when 11-1 and running respectably until weakening in the final furlong on debut at Redcar recently. Should benefit for that experience and could get more closely involved this time.
5
(6)
Horse silk
12/1
Nibbled at in the market when 25-1 and running well on debut at Chelmsford (5f, AW) recently. Hung left there and lost second late on, but should improve for the outing and not ruled out now switched to turf.

Horse silk
3/1
Another who was nibbled at in the market when 25-1 on debut at Thirsk recently, leading inside the final furlong before finishing an eventual 1L third. That was a very encouraging first run, if she can make the most of a rail draw she has claims.

(3)
Horse silk
2/1
25-1 on recent Windsor debut, when no chance with winner, but an encouraging 3½L third. That looks one of the stronger pieces of form coming into this, and with natural improvement and a good draw this time, she looks a serious player.
8
(4)
Horse silk
14/1
13,000gns yearling. Fourth foal. Half-sister to winners Cyril (1m2f), Dame Gladys (5f 2yo) and Thorndyke (Qatar 6f). Dam unraced half-sister to three middle-distance winners. Stable 2yos 2-6 so far this season, so market check advised.
Supported when 2-1 on recent Chelmsford debut, when green enough and never a threat, despite some late gains. Looked in need of a stiffer test, like this, so don't rule out significant improvement this time.

Forecasts

Maybellene (2/1), Knightcap (3/1), The Lazy Monkey (4/1), Flight Of Thunder (11/2), Gracie's Girl (12/1), Baileys In Bloom (14/1), Ruby Wonder (14/1), Dandy Story (20/1), Callipygian (50/1)

Verdict

A tricky race to call, but KNIGHTCAP showed enough on debut to suggest that she can hang on to win this time. Maybelline looks an obvious threat. Others who may step up significantly on their first efforts are The Lazy Monkey, Flight Of Thunder and Gracie's Girl, while newcomers Ruby Wonder and Baileys In Bloom merit market checks.
  1. Knightcap
  2. Maybellene
  3. The Lazy Monkey
