Three solid efforts in 1m AW maiden/novice events, running to a similar level on each occasion including when second over C&D (80-1) in October; firm contender.
30,000gns yearling; 50-1 and drawn widest when down the field on her debut here (7f) in May; has a Group 1 winner in the family and ought to be capable of better from a kinder stall on this return.
Clear signs of ability in three starts at Wolverhampton (8.6f/9.5f, Tapeta) and her fourth when last seen in May narrowly sets the standard; interesting that connections are persevering and she's a player on her comeback.
By Zoustar; first foal; dam unraced sister to winners Dark Trooper (7f/1m Listed), Fantasy Lady (1m 2yo Listed), Al Hajar (useful 7f 2yo) and Volition (7f/1m), out of unraced half-sister to 1m2f Group 1 winner Kinnaird; market clues welcome on this rather belated debut.
70,000gns breeze-up 2yo; 28-1 and beat two home here (7f) last month; 80-1 and just a small step forward when sixth at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) 12 days later; better draw this time, though, and it's still early days.
By St Mark's Basilica; fourth foal; closely related to winners No Retreat (UAE/Bahrain 7f; RPR 103) and Esquiline (Listed-placed 1m4f; 94), half-sister to 7f/1m winner Noche Clasica (92); dam 7.3f-1m4f winner (including 2yo/Listed; 103), sister to 1m4f Group 2 winner Manuela De Vega; the latter two made winning starts for this yard and this one is a key debutante.
Weakening fourth on both starts (7f) but it was a firm step forward at Southwell (Tapeta) last time; pedigree suggests this trip will suit at some point and she's not discounted.
Nathaniel filly; fifth foal; half-sister to Polish 6f winner Vi Et Armis; dam 7f AW winner (RPR 82), half-sister to useful 1m4f winner Awsaal; will likely need further in time but worth a market check on this debut.
Gleneagles half-sister to three winners including Shamkala (French 1m-10.5f including Group 3; RPR 111); dam 1m3f and 1m4f (Listed) winner (103), half-sister to Italian 1m4f Group 1 winner Shamdala, out of 1m4f Group 2 winner; another who will probably be going up in trip soon but that's a useful pedigree and respected on debut despite an unhelpful draw.
40,000gns yearling; 100-1 and just a modicum of promise when fifth of seven on her debut at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; should do better but the draw has not been kind.
16,000gns yearling; 150-1 but she made steady headway from the rear when fifth of 13 over C&D in November; that looks a run she can build on; interesting.
