11.15 (Newmarket) Kikkuli
There is sure to be plenty of attention focused on Kikkuli in the opening first division of the Betfred “Double Delight” British EBF Novice Stakes.
He is the final foal of Kind, making him the last half-sibling to the great Frankel, so hopes will surely be high for this son of Kingman.
12.50 (Newmarket) Serene Seraph
Serene Seraph can round off her campaign in style with Listed success in the Irish EBF “Bosra Sham” Fillies’ Stakes.
Conditions will be tough at Headquarters, but Richard Hannon’s charge has shown pretty much all ground comes alike to her, placing on good and good to firm ground before shedding her maiden tag on soft ground at Newbury last time out.
The form of her win in Berkshire was probably only average, but there was much to like about the way she easily saw off four rivals, powering home by three and a half lengths without really having to hit top gear.
Serene Seraph’s first two defeats have worked out well, with her initial Doncaster conqueror Carla’s Way now a Group Two winner and leading Breeders’ Cup hope, while Skellet, who beat her just over a length on the second occasion, has subsequently been beaten just a neck at Group Three level.
Wathnan Racing swooped to buy Serene Seraph after Newbury and the daughter of Blue Point can get off to a fine start in her new colours.
13:25 (Newmarket) Hamish
Mud-lover Hamish is the pick in the Betfred St Simon Stakes, transferred to Newmarket after Newbury was called off last week.
William Haggas’ runner has won each of his three starts this term, all at Group Three level, and his official mark of 117 puts him 5lb ahead of Al Qareem, who appears a worthy adversary.
However, Hamish will have his optimum conditions and can close out the year with an unbeaten run.
15:45 (Newmarket) Kalamunda
Kalamunda is aiming for a hat-trick. Broke through as favourite when scoring at Kempton over one mile and remains over the same distance, so is a top chance.
Mayz chases a double and caught the eye with a four length success at Windsor on heavy going. Expected to be firmly in the mix.
Forward Flight is another last start winner. A neck victory over one mile at Great Yarmouth in latest outing.
Monkmoor Pip remains unexposed after two starts and a good third at Lingfield last out.
Newmarket selections in full:
NEWMARKET: 11.15 Kikkuli, 11.45 Lord Of Love, 12.15 Willingly, 12.50 Serene Seraph, 1.25 Hamish, 2.00 Expressionless, 2.35 Clansman, 3.10 Kardia, 3.45 Kalamunda.
