70,000gns yearling by Palace Pier; fifth foal; half-sister to winners Genealogy (1m 2yo; RPR 93), Pianoforte (5f; 86), Shahik (6f AW 2yo; 78) and Artifact (US 1m/8.5f); dam Group-placed 6f 2yo winner (95) out of half-sister to 1,000 Guineas winner Finsceal Beo; same connections had a second-time-out 2yo winner on Monday.
By Masar out of a French 1m2f-1m4f winner (including Group 2; RPR 111); that strongly suggests much longer trips than this but she made a bright debut, briefly threatening 1f out, when fourth of 12 in maiden here (6.5f, good to firm; 22-1) one month ago, so has to be considered.
Has run in two 6f novice events at Windsor, showing some improvement when rallying for fifth of ten on good to soft 24 days ago but that suggests she needs markedly better still; jockey bookings suggest that Royal Message is the stable first string.
17-2, no match for a red-hot favourite (subsequent Listed winner) in five-runner novice at Bath (5f, good) 19 days ago but drew 5l clear of the rest, showing significant ability and promise.
By a 6f/7f performer but there's stacks of stamina on the dam's side; 16-1, never dangerous from out the back when 8l fourth of eight behind an odds-on stablemate in maiden at Goodwood (6f, soft) three weeks ago, hampered at the start; probably capable of a lot better but whether she's sharp enough to eclipse all these rivals over 6f on good to firm is another question.
38,000gns yearling by Australia; ninth foal; sister to 1m2f 2yo winner Anzac Day (RPR 99), half-sister to four winners including Merveillo (10.5f-1m4f including Listed; 99) and Ouezy (10.7f; 98); dam 1m3f winner, closely related to 1m 2yo Group 1/1m4f Grade 1 winner Ectot; pedigree suggests strongly that she is one for much further at a later stage.
Third foal; Havana Grey half-sister to 7f winner Back In Black (including 2yo; RPR 101); dam 7f 2yo winner (78), half-sister to 1m Listed winner Awesometank, out of 6f 2yo winner; 12-1 but upset in stalls when withdrawn from 6f Windsor novice (Bymiddaytomorrow 5-1) just over three weeks ago.
Fourth foal; Mehmas half-sister to 5f-7f winner Palmar Bay (including 2yo; RPR 100); dam 6f/7f winner (including 2yo/Listed; 106), sister to 7f 2yo and 1m3f Listed winner Dibayani; one to note from a leading yard.
280,000gns yearling; seventh foal; Night Of Thunder half-sister to winners Attagirl (5f/6f 2yo including Listed; RPR 98), Skiathos (7f 2yo; 78) and Symbol Of Hope (5f/5.7f; 75); dam Italian 5f-6f 2yo winner (including Listed; 99), half-sister to Group-placed 5f 2yo winner; late foal but needs a close look.
12,000gns foal, 62,000gns yearling; sixth foal; Starman half-sister to 1m-1m2f Flat (including 2yo; RPR 88) and 2m hurdle winner Into Battle; dam unraced half-sister to winners Johann Zoffany (Australian 1m6f Group 2) and Crown Choice (useful 6f/7f); powerful yard also runs Gravastar.
25-1 and backward when 11l sixth of ten at Windsor (6f, good to soft) just over three weeks ago, struggling to stay in touch from halfway and Bymiddaytomorrow 8l ahead; should improve but can't be fancied just yet.
No Nay Never half-sister to 7f winner Champion Again Ole (RPR 86); dam 6f winner (including 2yo/Group 2), from talented family; 16-1 when just over 7l fifth of eight in maiden at Leicester (6f, good to firm) five weeks ago, outpaced at halfway, but that was a hot race and she should improve; yard runs two and jockey bookings suggest that she is the stable first string.
5,000gns foal; by Showcasing; third foal; dam 1m-1m4f winner (including AW Listed; RPR 107), half-sister to winners War Diary (9.7f/1m4f) and St Saviour (1m2f Flat/useful 2m hurdle), out of 1m-winning half-sister to five-time 1m Group 1 winner Attraction; trainer not known for 2yos.
13-2 at Newmarket (6f, good) in May and came from rear to give the favourite a scare in closing stages; never showed when 20-1 for Group 3 at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago but the promising debut cannot yet be forgotten.
