British Stallion Studs EBF 'Carrie Red' Fillies' Nursery

Off time: 14:12 | Winning time: 1m 23.06s

(7)

Stylistique¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 94

5/1

Twice placed (7f) and is clearly progressing with experience; was beaten approximately 2L when fourth to Boomer in the Group 3 Prestige Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) - form subsequently boosted by the runner-up Dark Lady; sets the standard on form.

Form: 324

(11)

Ultra Violet¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: E F Vaughan| OR: 89

12/1

Ultra-impressive when winning by 8L on debut at Newmarket (6f maiden) in June, but hasn't necessarily appeared to be the most straightforward of fillies since - pulled way too hard in the Group 3 Sweet Solera Stakes.

Form: 183

(6)

Insania²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 83

11/1

A consistent and hardy filly; notched her second career success when running on strongly to fend off the challenge of Knightcap at Leicester (6f, good) three-weeks ago; competes off 7lb higher in a stronger race.

Form: 122401

(14)

Rosadora⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 82| BF

8/1

Polytrack winner (6f); headed close home when beaten a head by Oti Ma Boati in a Class 4 nursery here (6f, good) on her penultimate start; ran respectably (fourth) in defeat to today's rival Graceful Magic at Newmarket (6f) subsequently.

Form: 41424

(10)

Graceful Magic⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 82

5/1

Finished 2½L in front of today's rival Rosadora (fourth) when dead-heating with Rose Of Kildare at Newmarket (6f, good to firm); appeared to show further improvement when an unlucky loser latest and is due a 3lb rise; stablemate of Special Secret.

Form: 104182

(8)

Company Minx³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 80

9/1

Made a low-key debut (green); completely transformed at Lingfield (6f) six-weeks later when springing a 33-1 surprise; backed that up with another solid effort latest (is closely matched with Special Secret); heads off down the nursery route.

Form: 912

(12)

Special Secret³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: R L Moore| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 79| BF

9/1

Made a pleasing impression when scoring by 4½L on debut at Newbury (6f, good to soft) in June and had excuses when a beaten favourite on her next start; with her Windsor form franked, like her stablemate Graceful Magic she remains of interest.

Form: 173

(3)

Nirodha¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 79| D

20/1

Arguably a shade unfortunate not to hold an unbeaten record but is 2-2 on turf courtesy of novice auction wins at Yarmouth (6f) and Redcar (7f); certainly isn't short on early pace yet this is by far her sternest test to date.

Form: 211

(9)

Keep Busy¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 78

18/1

Progressing nicely with racing until fluffing the start and losing all chance in the Listed Champion 2yo Trophy at Ripon (6f) last month; has precious little to fear from these conditions (trip/track or ground) but is likely to find others stronger.

Form: 32116

(13)

Galadriel²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: K A Ryan| OR: 78

13/2

Finished strongly when fourth on debut in the Listed Marygate Stakes at York (5f, good/firm) in May, but patently didn't stay 7f at Thirsk (penultimate); broke her duck in a 5f Beverley novice (2-1f) four-weeks ago; trainer also saddles Barbarella.

Form: 4041

(15)

Red Treble^h¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Menzies| OR: 77| D

22/1

Made all and won unchallenged in a four-runner contest at Musselburgh (7f, good to firm) just over a fortnight ago, in the process supplying Rebecca Menzies with a first ever juvenile scorer; must take another step forward on nursery debut.

Form: 351

(4)

Incognito¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M R Channon| OR: 74| BF

12/1

Still seeking her first success after finishing runner-up on a couple of occasions, including on the AW at Chelmsford (7f) a fortnight ago when beaten narrowly by Hashtagmetoo; it's doubtful that she'll be strong enough for this company.

Form: 642542

(5)

Taste The Nectar^p¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 71

40/1

Runner-up to the likeable War Storm in a small-field affair at Yarmouth (6f, firm) on her penultimate start; not so effective at Chelmsford latest and this race is a much sterner test of her ability; others are favoured.

Form: 20025

Forecasts

Graceful Magic (5/1), Stylistique (5/1), Galadriel (13/2), Rosadora (8/1), Special Secret (9/1), Company Minx (9/1), Insania (11/1), Incognito (12/1), Ultra Violet (12/1), Barbarella (16/1), Keep Busy (18/1), Nirodha (20/1), Red Treble (22/1), Too Shy Shy (33/1), Taste The Nectar (40/1)

Stylistique takes a drop back in grade following an excellent effort (fourth) in the Group 3 Prestige Stakes at Goodwood, and the Roger Varian-trained runner could feasibly prove capable of defying top-weight on her nursery debut. Galadriel also boasts some solid form lines, with the suspicion being that the recent Beverley scorer (5f) is reasonably handicapped off a mark of 78. However, with a couple of realistic contenders on her hands, there's every chance that Eve Johnson-Houghton can get off to a flying start on the second day of the St Leger Festival. Of her duo, GRACEFUL MAGIC is preferred to Special Secret.
