Pat And Les Holmes Celebration Fillies' Novice Stakes

Off time: 15:39 | Winning time: 1m 24.36s

(6)

Bea Ryan³⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: T Eaves| T: D Carroll

20/1

Cost 75,000 gns as a yearling and showed some ability on debut a year ago but presumably had problems since then and this her first run since.

Form: 4-

(5)

Al Anaab⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Victor Santos⁽⁷⁾| T: L Egerton

250/1

Didn't show much in two runs for Peter Chapple-Hyam and sold for just 1,000 gns since last seen. Hard to be positive about her chances.

Form: 87

(9)

Corinthian Girl

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S Donohoe| T: D R Lanigan

25/1

Half-sister to three winners including useful 1m two-year-old Shahah. Dam unraced. Stable can win with a newcomer and used this venue with some of their better maidens in the past. Market should guide.

Form:

(7)

Dilly Dilly^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: J S Wainwright

250/1

Cost £5,000 as a two- year-old. Second foal and half-sister to 5f winner Rumshak (dam unraced). Stable not normally associated with debut winners.

Form:

Falathaat²³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jim Crowley| T: S bin Suroor

5/1

Plenty of promise both starts last summer at 1m and then when dropped to 7f when chasing home a classy type in Fox Power. This looks weaker and looks sure to play a leading role.

Form: 32-

(12)

Followme Followyou¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston

18/1

Similar level of form in two recent runs and more needed to get off the mark. Likely to do better when handicapping after this.

Form: 94

(8)

Make A Wish²³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: G Lee| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 76| BF

11/2

Three quick runs last year all at 6f. Didn't progress on the last of them after promise first two runs. Claims on earlier form but bit to prove.

Form: 324-

(11)

Pearl Jam

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe

11/1

Sales price rose from 75,000 gns to 330,000 last year. First foal and unraced dam was closely related to smart Vital Equine. Price tag suggests she warrants a close look in the market.

Royal Welcome¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Allan| T: J Tate| BF

3/1

Sent off 6/4 on debut here recently but disappointed when sixth of 12 (Mendamay third) and while clearly thought capable of better, this likely to be a stronger contest.

Form: 6

(15)

Sharp Breath²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

50/1

Bit slowly away when 18/1 on 6f debut at Thirsk recently. Made some late inroads and capable of some improvement over this extra furlong.

Form: 6

(1)

Soft Cover

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P Hanagan| T: W J Haggas

11/4

Second foal and half-sister to 1m3f winner Magical Sight. Dam won over 7f and 1m. Trainer knows the family well and well worth a second look in the betting for powerful connections.

Form:

(2)

Summer Bride

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: T D Easterby

20/1

€40,000 yearling. Fifth foal and related to winners from smart 7f horse What's The Story to 2m winner Major Mac.

Form:

(14)

Take Fright¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rossa Ryan| T: H Palmer| OR: 76

20/1

Showed ability second run last summer but off the track for 10 months before comeback at Lingfield at this trip recently and didn't show a great deal. Can improve but probably needs to.

Form: 53-4

Mendamay¹⁸

Forecasts

Soft Cover (11/4), Royal Welcome (3/1), Falathaat (5/1), Make A Wish (11/2), Pearl Jam (11/1), Mendamay (12/1), Followme Followyou (18/1), Take Fright (20/1), Summer Bride (20/1), Bea Ryan (20/1), Corinthian Girl (25/1), Sharp Breath (50/1), Taaldara (66/1), Al Anaab (250/1), Dilly Dilly (250/1)

Some interesting newcomers from good yards so the betting should reveal plenty about those. On paper Soft Cover and Pearl Jam make most appeal of them but the experience of FALATHAAT just about tips the scales in her favour in what could prove an informative contest.
