Doncaster St Leger Meeting 2011 - May Hill Stakes


3.00 Doncaster
Barrett Steel May Hill Stakes (Group 2) (Fillies) (Class 1) (2yo) Winner £39,697
Advice: 1 pt win Fallen For You (13/8 general)

Owner detailsEverlong: Looked for all the world as if she’d win stepped upto this trip when second on debut at Newmarket so disappointing that she couldn’t justify favouritism despite being hampered at the start last time out; Needs much more here.

Owner detailsFallen For You: Well backed on debut before winning impressively, defying slow start and then being pushed out wide to come home with some ease; That form working out well (runner-up Rhythmic has won well since and third looked unlucky on her next start) and could take the beating if she improved for debut.

Owner detailsLyric Of Light: Ran out a ready winner of Newmarket maiden for team that holds a strong hand in this division and says a lot that she runs here out of original entries; Form hasn’t worked out as some would like be respected nonetheless.

Owner detailsNa Zdorvie: Famous for being last Barry Hills winner at Chester when getting up from what looked like an unpromising position at Chester; Step up in trip should improve her but this looks like it should be too tough.

Owner detailsRegal Realm: Created promising impression when knuckling down well to land Newmarket maiden but nobody could predict how well the form would have worked out (subsequent Cherry Hinton winner Gamilati in second, Albany winner in third, several other winners behind); Went down to a progressive winner at Ascot and did extremely well to get up at Goodwood latest; Will improve for step up in trip again and form choice

Owner detailsSamitar: Created god impression when running out Ready winner of Albany Stakes, looking as if she would improve for experience/trip so disappointing to see her caught (looked like non stayer) in sales race last time; This a harder task at 2 furlongs more.

Owner detailsSemayyel: Never going early pace over 6 furlongs on debut and like so many from stable, improved for that significantly when running pout fairly ready winner over 7f; This could bring her on again but feeling others have more to offer.

Owner detailsSwitcher: Stayed on strongly to win 9-runner maiden at Haydock in May by 3½ lengths from previously useful looking Dare To Dream and creditable Albany fourth when behind Samitar; Ran into progressive sort last time (stable runs Fallen To You) and needs more.

VERDICT: The claims of Regal Realm at a trip which promises to suit cannot be ignored but FALLEN FOR YOU made an undeniable impression first time out and with that form franked there’s plenty of reason to think she can improve again. Lyric Of Light comes from the right yard to take this while Samitar is a stamina doubt based on what we saw last time.
