Newmarket Race 1 - Discover Newmarket Fillies' Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
Charlie Appleby endured a slow start to 2026 but is getting rolling now and has two lovely fillies to look forward to here. Stable first choice would be GRACEFUL SONG (2) who is by the great Dubawi out of a group winning mare. She herself is a half-sister to multiple G1 winner State of Rest. Likely type. Stablemate GRACIOUS GIFT (3) ran with promise attempting a Yarmouth 1400m novice two weeks ago and is open to any amount of improvement. Lope De Vega filly WATCH PARTY (8) has winners all over the pedigree and wears the colours of a powerful owner. Market check advised as it is with the Andrew Balding trained SOMERS ISLES (5).

Two-year-old filly by Lope Y Fernandez out of Miami Sunset having her first start. Worth watching for a betting move.

Was well in the market at debut, 2nd in a small field at Great Yarmouth on July 2 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Musical Times with 58kg at $5. Shapes as a leading chance.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, 5th of 9 at this track on June 19 over 1400m, 16 len behind Musical Times carrying 58kg at $101. Out of her depth again.
