2:05 British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies’ Handicap:
New Heights (David Probert), The African Queen (David Allan)Exciting Prospects
Cat Ninja is an exciting daughter of Cotai Glory who is a half-sister to 1000 Guineas heroine Cachet. Unlike her relative, she was kept off the track until now and is stable jockey Kieran Shoemark’s first choice in the race. Stable companion Running Spirit isn’t too badly bred either – being related to French Group One winner Jannah Rose. The daughter of Invincible Spirit will be ridden in this Download The QuinnBet App Maiden Fillies’ Stakes by Oisin Murphy as she makes her racecourse debut.
Red Pixie is a daughter of a mare trained by Sir Michael Stoute. She made an interesting racecourse debut at Kempton when catching the eye to finish fourth under an educational ride. She travelled well that day but found little under pressure. With the benefit of experience, she should go well here.
Other Contenders
The African Queen made all on her final start when in novice company. She is into Handicap company here for a yard who travel down from North Yorkshire in hope that the 500-mile round trip is worthwhile. Course and distance winner Wisper is lurking on a nice mark and drops in class after some disappointing runs towards the end of last season. She won at this course on debut last year and will go well here too.
Nighteyes finally got her head in front on her final start of last season when winning at Ripon over six furlongs. The David O’Meara-trained daughter of Night Of Thunder had been admirably consistent in her five starts, finishing second three times. A mark of 80 looks harsh enough and she will have to improve on her seasonal debut to land the QuinnBet Fillies’ Handicap.
Royal Elysian made her seasonal re-appearance at Southwell and travelled well despite tiring late on. If improved for that then she will go well again here. Shin Jidai ran well in a hot Newmarket Nursery and makes her re-appearance here. If stepping up on that showing she will have a great chance.
