AKS Skips Maiden Fillies' Stakes (GBB Race)

Palace Pier filly out of a Group 3 winner; 5-2 and didn't get the breaks when making her debut at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) nine days ago; still ran on well to grab second and she's open to any amount of improvement.

By Cotai Glory; fourth foal; half-sister to winners Nine Six Five (1m; RPR 84) and Lethal Grey (Italian 5f/6f); dam 1m AW winner (77); yard is 0-12 with juvenile this term.

Too Darn Hot filly from family of Canadian 1m4f Grade 1 winner Desert Encounter; 100-1 and ninth of ten on debut at Nottingham (5f, good) one month ago; this trip should suit better but she's likely one for further down the line.

By Farhh; 68,000gns yearling, 150,000gns breeze-up 2yo; third foal; half-sister to 10.5f winner Nautical Force (RPR 93); dam ran once (56), closely related to useful 5.5f-8.5f winner Walec, out of 1m3f Listed-winning sister to Listed winners at 1m2f and 1m4f; yard is 6-29 with 2yos this year; the most expensive of these at auction and she's an interesting debutante with Ryan Moore booked.

By Starman; 75,000gns yearling; fourth foal; half-sister to winners Basil Martini (7f 2yo Group 3; RPR 98), Bonbon (5f 2yo; 83) and Amazing Athena (5f 2yo; 82); dam placed at 5f as 2yo (68), half-sister to 9.5f Listed winner Bayargal and two French Listed-placed 5f 2yo winners; yard not noted for winning debutantes but her pedigree suggests she'll come to hand this year.
