British EBF Fillies' Novice Auction Stakes (Plus 10/GBB Race)

Alone Time¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne

11/1

Squeezed out at start on debut at Lingfield (6f) last month but made swift amends when running on strongly to win Bath 5f maiden with a bit in hand earlier this month. Should stay the extra furlong but not easy gaving away her penalty.

Form: 81

Rania¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S Kirk

10/3

Looked green when midfield finisher on debut at Chepstow but learned plenty and won by three lengths there on return visit 17 days ago. Top jockey booking suggests connections are hopeful of another big effort.

Form: 71

Cooloola¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Osborne

22/1

Stable companion of Rania. Daughter of Helmet cost 12,000gns and is half-sister to two 6f 2yo winners. Slow to break on first run but made some late headway without ever getting involved. Should know a little more now.

Fairy Dust²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover

8/11

Gregorian filly cost 12,000gns as a yearling and ran very well when length runner-up over C&D on debut four weeks ago, leading briefly 1f out before being run out of it inside last 100yards by subsequent Listed fourth. Form looks solid.

Form: 2

Heatherdown Matron⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Hayley Turner| T: M L W Bell

25/1

Bought for 15,000gns as a yearling. Daughter of Equiano out of unraced half-sister to Racing Post Trophy winner Kingston Hill. In touch until weakened over 1f out on debut at Pontefract and may well need more time and be better over further.

Form: 6

(3)

Araucana¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes

66/1

Swiss Spirit filly out of 5f-6f winner. It all went wrong when pulled very hard and eventully pulled up on debut over C&D in June but did better when fourth of 6 behind Rania at Chepstow last time. Hard to see her turning the tables though.

Form: P4

(8)

Copper Kitten²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Jenkins

150/1

£3,000 Bobby's Kitten purchase, half-sister to 10 individual winners, some of them decent. Didn't show a great deal first time when ninth of 11 at Lingfield 6f last month and others make more appeal on evidence so far.

Form: 9

(1)

Crazy Luck

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: B R Millman

9/1

£9,000 daughter of Twilight Son out of German 7f 2yo winner. Stable 1-22 with turf juveniles so far this campaign and would have to be decent to go close here on debut from a seemingly unfavourable draw.

Form:

(5)

Hellavapace

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman

14/1

By Hellvelyn out of US maiden but closely related to a number of winners between 5f-1m. Yard yet to have 2yo winner to date from a handful of runners and may well benefit from this first racecourse appearance.

Form:

(7)

Silver Reflection

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger

80/1

4,800gns daughter of very promising sire Gutaifan out of unraced half-sister to a 6f 2yo Group 3 winner. Yard just 3-58 with juveniles over the last five years and it would be a surprise if she's wound up enough to figure in the finish on debut.

Form:

(10)

Wisper

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: M Blanshard

40/1

Belardo filly cost 5,000gns out of dam who is half-sister to a German St Leger winner. Yard not known for 2yo winners and are 0-56 in this sphere over the last five years. Seems more than likely to improve for this racecourse bow.

Forecasts

Fairy Dust (8/11), Rania (10/3), Crazy Luck (9/1), Alone Time (11/1), Hellavapace (14/1), Ambarella (14/1), Cooloola (22/1), Heatherdown Matron (25/1), Wisper (40/1), Araucana (66/1), Silver Reflection (80/1), Copper Kitten (150/1)

In receipt of weight from the two previous winners FAIRY DUST is taken to go one place better than her promising second on debut over C&D last month. Both Rania and Alone Time scored last time on thier respective second outings and are respected. Rania could prove the bigger danger to the selection, while Ambarella might prove best of the unraced contenders, most of whom look as though they'll be better given a little more time.
