Rossdales Maiden Fillies' Stakes (GBB Race)

Off time: 16:11 | Winning time: 1m 23.71s

Izipizi¹²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

9/4

Kingman filly who makes a good deal of appeal on paper and promising start when second of 13 in maiden at Kempton (1m) in December, better placed than most but keeping on for hands-and-heels riding. Entitled to have learned from that and sure to improve for top yard.

Form: 2-

Looking For Queen²¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: N Callan| T: K A Ryan| OR: 76

15/2

Churchill filly who progressed with each start as a 2-y-o, well suited by the step up in trip when second of 11 in maiden at Doncaster (7f) in September. That may not prove her limit.

Form: 482-

Lyraisa¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

40/1

95,000 gns yearling, Masar filly. Easy to back and she could only run to a modest level when sixth of 8 in novice at Lingfield (7f, AW) in October. This should reveal more but good deal of improvement needed if she's to figure on return.

Form: 6-

(5)

Miss Kubelik¹⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden

10/1

Holy Roman Emperor filly who shaped with distinct promise having been caught further back than ideal in a steadily-run race when second in a Southwell novice (7f) back in November. Another sure-fire improver for her top yard and one for the shortlist here.

Form: 2-

Painite³¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| BF

9/1

£120,000 2-y-o, Eqtidaar filly. Half-sister to 3 winners. Runner-up both starts for Richard Hannon last June, her winning chance seemingly spoiled by the flag start at Windsor (6f, good to soft) latterly. Up in trip for return (dam 1¼m winner). Remains with potential.

Form: 22-

Rolica¹⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| BF

9/2

320,000 gns purchase who is bred to be useful and she offered something to work on when third in a back-end maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) in October, conditions just finding her out late on. Looks sure to do better this term.

Form: 3-

Two B Tanned^h1⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott

200/1

Saddler's Rock filly. 40/1, looked green when sixth of 7 in a Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) in February. Hood goes on and she's one for later on.

Form: 6

Vicario^t1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 82| BF

9/4

Lope De Vega filly who was much better for her debut when second in a C&D maiden in October and similar form back from 5 months off when runner-up at Chelmsford (7f) 5 weeks ago. Tongue tie fitted now and she could yet do better again.

Form: 02-2

(6)

Yellow Lemons¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

50/1

€100,000 purchase as a juvenile but she didn't show any immediate promise when finishing seventh of 8 in a Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) on debut in October. That experience ought not to have been wasted on her but she's probably best watched on return to action.

Form: 7-

Forecasts

Vicario (9/4), Izipizi (9/4), Rolica (9/2), Looking For Queen (15/2), Painite (9/1), Miss Kubelik (10/1), Lyraisa (40/1), Yellow Lemons (50/1), Two B Tanned (200/1)

The Gosden's look to hold a strong hand with promising IZIPIZI and Miss Kubelik possibly the pair to focus on. The former shaped with definite promise when chasing home another of their stablemates on debut at Kempton in December and shades the vote. That said, the latter did particularly well under the circumstances when filling the same spot on her respective debut and market confidence behind her would look significant. Rolica and Painite are others to consider.
