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

2YO only | Class 4 | 5f 42y | 11 Runners | Turf

(10)

Alpaca's Bullet¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: Adam Kirby

66/1

40/1 and no obvious promise on Leicester debut 11 days ago.

Form: 8

(11)

Halliwell Stream

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

10/3

Foaled January 21. 140,000 gns No Nay Never filly. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, closely related to useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Queen of Bermuda. A newcomer to note in the betting.

(9)

Harlequin Sky

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

20/1

Foaled February 25. A recent 20,000 gns breeze-up purchase. Dubawi Legend half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 9f In The Field and 1¼m-1½m winner In The Breeze, both useful. Halliwell Stream possibly the stable first string based on jockey bookings but the betting will reveal more.

(1)

Havana Grey Star¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: R Hughes

8/1

Havana Grey filly who was undone by her tendency to hang left when fourth of 7 on her 6f Nottingham debut (good) 11 days ago. Should have no trouble with the drop back to 5f and a sure-fire improver if keeping straighter this time.

Form: 4

(4)

Havana Lightning³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| BF

6/4

Sent off at 6/5 but seemed to need the experience when fifth of 8 in maiden at Newmarket (5f, good) on debut 35 days ago. Evidently thought capable of a lot better.

Form: 5

(5)

Havana Sprite¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: J Tate

5/4

Promising start when 2 lengths fourth of 8 in novice at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Will set a high standard for the rest to aim at if making the anticipated improvement.

Form: 4

(3)

Minnie Bear⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: Adam Kirby

66/1

14/1, last of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5f) on debut 44 days ago. Likely up against it again.

Form: 8

(2)

Persian Sunset¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rowan Scott| T: K P De Foy

18/1

Persian Force filly who ran to only a modest level when 7 lengths third of 5 on Beverley debut (5f, good) 16 days ago but seemed badly in need of the experience so is likely to progress.

Form: 3

(8)

Sable Island²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Liam Wright⁽⁵⁾| T: C A Dwyer

14/1

33/1, showed a bit when third of 8 on 5f Southwell debut 21 days ago. May do better but this looks a warm race.

Form: 3

(7)

Sea Of Sardinia^t1³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Hayley Burton

50/1

33/1, last of 8 in maiden at Newmarket (5f, good) on debut 35 days ago.

Form: 8

(6)

Sydney Grace

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Paddy Bradley| T: C Fellowes

20/1

Foaled April 18. €40,000 Minzaal filly. Half-sister to 7f winner Teraabb. Dam, winner up to 8.5f (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Daarik. The yard's 2-y-os have been going well so needs keeping an eye on in the betting.

Forecasts

Havana Sprite (2/1), Havana Lightning (3/1), Halliwell Stream (4/1), Havana Grey Star (6/1), Sable Island (12/1), Sydney Grace (14/1), Harlequin Sky (20/1), Persian Sunset (20/1), Minnie Bear (50/1), Alpaca's Bullet (50/1), Sea Of Sardinia (50/1)

The 3 Havana Grey fillies can fight this out. HAVANA SPRITE sets the bar pretty high on her Newmarket fourth and is the one to beat. Havana Lightning didn't come close to justifying her position as a short-priced favourite on debut but is evidently highly regarded by a leading stable. Havana Grey Star should build on her opening Nottingham run if able to keep straighter under pressure this time.
