British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes (GBB Race)

Off time: 16:11 | Winning time: 1m 11.99s

Country Artiste¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C G Cox

6/1

Nearer last than first on debut, but looked a different proposition with that run under her belt when second in a 14-runner Newbury novice (6f, good to firm) next time. Though first impressions were that that wasn't a particularly strong race, she is a strong candidate all the same.

Form: 72

Crimson Rose²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

7/2

Surprisingly didn't attract much support ahead of her debut third behind a promising filly from the Roger Varian yard at Chelmsford City (6f) 3 weeks ago, but she shaped well in that maiden and she's open to improvement for her powerful connections.

Form: 3

Enamorus

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Palmer

9/4

Foaled April 4. 70,000 gns half-sister to 3 winners, including Nashirah and Al Maysan. Yard occasionally saddles winning newcomers and, with Oisin Murphy booked, this Mehmas filly is one to note in the betting.

Harlequin Angel²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

16/1

Didn't show much first time out, but much-improved when chasing home an odds-on shot with Group-race aspirations at Chelmsford, in turn finishing a length in advance of the re-opposing Crimson Rose. However, she arguably lacks the scope of the latter and will do well to uphold that form.

Form: 02

Lady Lucky Vegas

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Dr R Newland

15/2

Foaled March 14. 19,000 gns 2-y-o, Lucky Vega filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 5f winner Son of Corballis and 2-y-o 6f winner Miracle Beauty. Makes debut in a warm-looking race and it's likely that she'll come on for the run.

Night Shining

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: G Boughey

9/2

Foaled April 4. Fetched 475,000 gns as a yearling and she's a sister to 2-y-o winners Dark Liberty and winner Sunstrike, not to mention a half-sister to the smart Queen of Love. Armed with an entry in the Group 2 Lowther Stakes and Ryan Moore booked, there's much to like about this filly on paper.

Princess Billyboy

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

17/2

Foaled January 29. 62,000 gns Oasis Dream filly out of an unraced half-sister to smart 5f winner Fashion Queen. Represents top 2-y-o yard and it'll be interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting.

Welcome Retreat¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S D Bowen| T: James Owen

40/1

Never in the hunt on debut in 1m Chelmsford maiden won by Coming Attraction, finishing behind Harlequin Angel and Crimson Rose. Bettered that when third of 7 in a fast-ground C&D novice recently, but she'll be of greater interest in nurseries a little further down the line.

Form: 53

Forecasts

Enamorus (9/4), Crimson Rose (7/2), Night Shining (9/2), Country Artiste (6/1), Lady Lucky Vegas (15/2), Princess Billyboy (17/2), Harlequin Angel (16/1), Coinin Caisc (33/1), Welcome Retreat (40/1)

The indicators pointing to a big run from newcomer NIGHT SHINING are pretty strong, given her pedigree, price tag and entry in the Lowther Stakes. The booking of Ryan Moore is another very positive factor and the case for supporting this filly will be further bolstered if she's popular in the betting. Crimson Rose looks nailed-on to improve for her debut spin on the all-weather and she is feared most ahead of Country Artiste and debutantes Enamorus and Princess Billyboy.
