British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes (Plus 10)

Off time: 15:14 | Winning time: 1m 29.50s

Alabama Whitman²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Spencer

4/7

Her debut effort alone would be good enough to win a standard novice event here and she eclipsed that when fourth in the Albany. It will obviously take a smart newcomer to worry her in this.

Form: 24

Bye Bye Euro

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: K Dalgleish

10/1

£6,000 daughter of Dragon Pulse related to minor winners in Greece and Slovakia. Stable had a winning debutante on Monday, but it would be a surprise if she proved good enough based on her pedigree.

Capp It All¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Loughnane

50/1

Attracted money prior to her latest start at Doncaster but she was soon in trouble. This looks a stronger heat and she clearly needs to reveal her early morning form.

Form: 64

Cersei Lannister¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: Adrian Nicholls

50/1

Plenty of winners in the family so she would be expected to step up considerably from a mediocre debut. Highly tried here though but worth watching for the future with nurseries on the horizon.

Form: 7

Christmas Diamond

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears

40/1

Bated Breath filly out of a well-related dam.Nevertheless, she was led out unsold at Goffs at £3,000 as a yearling and few clues there she is ready to win a race as good as this.

Diamond Sparkles

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey

5/1

War Front filly out of the Group 1 Pretty Polly winner Diamondsandrubies. Debuts for a top yard having a good year with it's juveniles and the market should be informative.

Secret Passion

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Adam J McNamara| T: A Watson

7/1

72,000 gns daughter of Havana Gold related to a useful 6f-1m performer in Italy. Stable have had a good year with their juveniles and the market has often been a useful measure.

Form:

Tulip Fields

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: A Mullen| T: C & M Johnston

11/2

By the great Golden Horn out of a middle-distance winner. Related to winners over trips ranging from 7f-2m2f so will need every inch of his. Trainer saddled sire's first winner, but she will have to be ultra-smart to provide both with another.

Forecasts

Alabama Whitman (4/7), Diamond Sparkles (5/1), Tulip Fields (11/2), Secret Passion (7/1), Bye Bye Euro (10/1), Christmas Diamond (40/1), Half Of Seven (40/1), Capp It All (50/1), Cersei Lannister (50/1)

Diamond Sparkles and Tulip Fields stand out on pedigree and both represent yards who have a good crop of youngsters. Secret Passion will have been well prepared for this and is more speedily bred than the aforementioned pair. All three should not be long in making their marks but they all face a stiff task in trying to take the measure of ALABAMA WHITMAN. The Ivawood filly cannot match some of her opponents bloodlines, but her two runs to date mark her as the one to beat with her fourth in the Albany already ranking her as one the best juvenile maidens in training. It will take an outstanding horse to beat her judged on that basis.
