Darley Fillies' Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Off time: 16:49 | Winning time: 2m 8.84s

Mappatassie²⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: C Lee| T: C G Cox

28/1

Winner of a newcomers' race at Clairefontaine last summer prior to beating just one rival home in a 10-runner listed race at Toulouse in October. Sights lowered on return/debut for new yard but this 4-y-o looks vulnerable conceding plenty of weight all round to younger rivals.

Form: 19-

Avon Light³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: W Muir & C Grassick

40/1

Lightning Spear filly who showed signs of ability when sixth of 13 in a 1m novice on debut here (firm) last month. Likley to do better in time but others are more appealing on this occasion.

Form: 6

(6)

Caramay¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Georgia Dobie| T: W Muir & C Grassick

200/1

Little impact in 2 starts on the AW in January and it's likely that handicaps, for she will qualify after this run, will be a happier hunting ground for this filly.

Form: 08

(11)

Humankind²⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute

11/1

Sixth in the Doncaster maiden won by Oaks winner Soul Sister on debut in October and wasn't beaten far when fourth at Kempton (1m) the following month. Likely to benefit from this step up in trip and she's probably capable of a good deal better.

Form: 64-

(4)

It's Marvellous¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 75

14/1

Left low-key debut behind when chasing home the odds-on Lmay over 1½m here last month and performed to a similar level at Kempton next time. This drop in trip could work in her favour but she looks vulnerable all the same.

Form: 0-24

(13)

Kalama Sunrise¹⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J Channon

250/1

Failed to beat a rival home in a couple of appearances on the AW earlier this year and she's another who will be of greater interest in handicaps later on.

Form: 97

(2)

Karat Karat

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

12/1

Half-sister to very smart/ungenuine 1½m-13f winner Al Aasy and 1¼m winner Sea Flawless. Likely-looking type from a leading yard, so she needs close attention in the betting.

Form:

Looklikewemadeit

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Saffie Osborne| T: P D Evans

100/1

Not particularly appealing on paper and, chances are, she will come on for the run.

Malka³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: K P De Foy

11/1

Showed plenty when third of 10 in minor event at Goodwood on debut in May and subsequent Salisbury (1¼m, good to firm) second was no backward step. Looks ready for a step up in trip but, on the upside, a stronger gallop could be on the cards here and she's open to improvement.

Form: 32

(9)

Maman Joon³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: R Hannon| OR: 100

5/1

Promising second in a big-field C&D maiden on debut during the spring before finishing a fine fourth in the Oaks at Epsom. Perhaps not over those exertions when well held at Royal Ascot next time and she sets a good standard down in class here.

Form: 240

(5)

Mambo Sunset³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: James Horton

11/2

Made an encouraging start to her career when third of 11 in maiden at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) and improved when a clear second upped to 10.2f at Newcastle. Strong each-way claims with further progress likely.

Form: 32

(12)

Red Danielle^h1⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| BF

7/2

Shaped very well on debut when runner-up in a minor event at Goodwood (1¼m, good to firm) at the end of May (Malka 5 lengths adrift in third). Excuses on the AW next time and she remains of strong interest. Hood applied.

Form: 26

(8)

Sweet Memories²³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden

5/2

Fetched 680,000 gns as a yearling and form of the Wolverhampton novice (9.5f) in which she finished fourth on her introduction during the winter is working out well. That experience won't be wasted on her and, provided she's tuned-up following a break, improvement is on the cards here.

Form: 4-

Forecasts

Sweet Memories (5/2), Red Danielle (7/2), Maman Joon (5/1), Mambo Sunset (11/2), Deep Dive (10/1), Malka (11/1), Humankind (11/1), Karat Karat (12/1), It's Marvellous (14/1), Mappatassie (28/1), Avon Light (40/1), Looklikewemadeit (100/1), Caramay (200/1), Kalama Sunrise (250/1)

RED DANIELLE's latest effort can be excused and she is appealing in view of her debut promise at Goodwood where she was touched off by a potentially useful type in Royal Mila (winner again since), in turn pulling nicely clear of the re-opposing Malka in third. Maman Joon is the one to beat judged on her effort in the Oaks and it will be disappointing if she's not involved in the finish. Mambo Sunset and Sweet Memories are also of interest.
