Arion Fox
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-0| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian
11/4
Kingman half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Ultra Violet out of useful 1m winner Rive Gauche. Sales price rose markedly to 300,000 as a yearling, and yard has a healthy 14% strike rate with 2-y-o's at this track.

Horse silk
8/1
Frankel half-sister to smart 1m-1m3f Banzari and 1¼m-2m winner Lee Bay, out of a maiden half-sister to smart winner up to 9f Adagio. Five of yard's six 2-y-o winners this term have scored at the first time of asking.

(2)
Horse silk
28/1
Exceed And Excel half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Space Traveller and 6f winner Rubia Bella. Yard 1-22 with 2-y-o debutants in the past 12 months.

(8)
Horse silk
125/1
Iffraaj half-sister to useful 1m1f-1¾m winner Whirling Dervish and 1¼m-1m4½f winner Gaillefontaine. Yard's 2-y-o newcomers invariably need experience (1-42 here in last five years).

Horse silk
Joy Choi
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon
20/1
€80,000 Territories filly. Closely related to 6f/7f winner Lee Way. Yard can ready one, but record with juvenile debutants at this track in recent years is a modest 4-88.
By Dawn Approach out of a useful French 1m winner, herself half-sister to smart 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Outstrip out of US Grade 1 1m1f winner Asi Siempre. Yard has a 22% recent record with newcomers here, and she must be high on the shortlist.

Horse silk
6/4
Dubawi half-sister to Lockinge/Queen Anne Stakes winner Ribchester and 1¼m winner Golconda Prince. Appeals greatly on pedigree, and hails from a high-percentage yard, so afforded maximum respect on debut.

Horse silk
Mcgivern
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-0| J: K J Leonard| T: A Keatley
125/1
Tamayuz half-sister to winner abroad by Slade Power, out of a half-sister to Group 2 Prix de Sandringham winner Baqah. Yard 1-4 with juvenile newcomers this term, so merits a market check.

Horse silk
Pepinillo
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon
28/1
Dark Angel half-sister to smart 6f/7f winner Gusto, smart 1m½f winner Beauly and useful 7f winner Pesto. Yard also represented by Joy Choi, so worth looking for market clues in separating the pair.
10
(5)
Horse silk
80/1
By Sixties Icon out of an unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 1½m Handsome Hawk. Makes limited appeal on paper for a yard with a poor 3% strike-rate with 2-y-o runners on debut this year.

Horse silk
Statement
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: M Meade
9/1
€100,000 Lawman filly out of a 1¼m-1½m winner, herself a half-sister to useful 7f-1m½f winner Laviniad. Yard has had one debutant winner from just three individual 2-y-o's this year, that being subsequent Listed winner Method.
12
(7)
Horse silk
9/1
By Dark Angel out of a 1m Listed winner from the family of Futurity Stakes winner/Derby third Bakharoff. Top yard has a 14% record with 2-y-o's here in last few years.

13:40 Newmarket - 8 August 2020 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Some interesting sorts in an opener populated entirely by newcomers, but the pair who stand out are the Godolphin fillies Late Morning and LOOKTOTHERAINBOW, both of whom are from top-class families. Preference is for the latter, a Dubawi half-sister to the outstanding miler Ribchester. Arion Fox appeals most of the others in a race where market clues could be of great importance.
  1. Looktotherainbow
  2. Late Morning
  3. Arion Fox
