Tattersalls 40,000 EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Bintabuha³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Knight

7/1

Promising start when runner-up in a 7f Newmarket fillies' novice in June and performed to a similar level when third over the same C&D the following month. Extra furlong here will help but it'll probably be over middle-distances next year when she really comes into her own.

Form: 23

Butterfly Wings²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien

8/11

Holds fancy entries and shaped with a good deal of promise when fourth in a 7-runner Leopardstown maiden (1m, good) on debut. Can be expected to take a sizeable step forward here with that experience to draw upon and she's a major player.

Koko Blue

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick

66/1

Foaled February 21, Kameko filly out of a German 11f winner, herself a half-sister to a number of classy US winners. Yard's 2-y-os typically need a run or two before coming to the boil and this filly is pitched into a warm-looking race for her debut.

Participle

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett

5/2

Foaled March 24. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Macduff, while her dam (1m winner) is a half-sister to top-class miler Kingman. Yard's 2-y-os going great guns and this daughter of Frankel is one to monitor very closely in the betting.

Qilin Queen²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ross Coakley| T: E Walker

16/1

Fetched 280,000 gns as a yearling and this half-sister to several winners made an encouraging enough start to her career in what was probably an above-average maiden at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Improvement should be forthcoming.

Form: 3

Rock Camelot

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: C Johnston

28/1

Foaled February 9. 65,000 gns yearling, Camelot filly. Half-sister to useful 1½m winner Amusement. The market should offer clues with regard to expectations of this one first time out.

Forecasts

Butterfly Wings (8/11), Participle (5/2), Flight (5/2), Bintabuha (7/1), Qilin Queen (16/1), Rock Camelot (28/1), Koko Blue (66/1)

Ralph Beckett has saddled several winning 2-y-o newcomers already this month and PARTICIPLE could be another for the yard. She looks the part on paper and it will look highly significant if the market speaks in her favour. She will need to be pretty useful given that Irish raider Butterfly Wings holds Group entries and should come on a bundle for her promising Leopardstown debut, while Flight is a winner waiting to happen and Qilin Queen is open to improvement.
