Muckle Maiden Fillies' Stakes (GBB Race)

Study Of Man filly; sixth foal; half-sister to winners Alpha Theta (1m4f AW; RPR 88), Alpen Power (1m 2yo/1m4f AW; 80) and Sahara Spear (Bahrain 7f); dam Group-placed 1m/9.7f winner (109), out of half-sister to Group 1 winners Alborada and Albanova; one to note in the market on debut.

First foal of a 1m/1m2f winner (RPR 82); ran on well to be second of seven having been outpaced on debut at Hamilton (5f, good; 14-1) 22 days ago; should appreciate the step up to 7f but she may have softer ground conditions to contend with today; trainer won this in 2022 and 2024 (also runs Special Thanks).

3,500gns foal; by Waldgeist; fourth foal; half-sister to Czech/Slovakian 7f winner Materana; dam unraced half-sister to 6f-1m winner Elmonjed; market may be the best guide on debut.

4,000gns yearling; by Make Believe; third foal; half-sister to 5f AW 2yo winner Leaves Of Grass (RPR 76); dam placed 6f-1m (including 2yo/AW; 71), half-sister to US 8.5f stakes winner Western Reserve; watch the market on debut.

Third of six on debut at Doncaster (7f, good; raced freely) and filled that some position at Newmarket (7f, good; first-time hood) 20 days ago; holds claims but slower ground would be an unknown.
