Flowerhead to blossom at Newbury

Flowerhead can bloom again for Charlie Clover in the Sequoia Hair & Spirit St Hugh's Stakes on Friday at Newbury.

The two-year-old bay filly, who is by the emerging sire Starman, sports the purple silks of Amo Racing and ran encouragingly in two maiden events before stepping up sharply in grade at Royal Ascot.

There she contested the Group Two Queen Mary Stakes over 1000m, and completely outran odds of 100-1 to finish second when beaten 1.25-lengths.

She returned to the same track the following month for the Group Three Princess Margaret Stakes, where she took on an extended trip of 1200m for the first time in her career.

In a field of 10, the bay was far from disgraced when fifth, beaten 2.5-lengths, with Staya, the Queen Mary fifth, ahead of her in second place.

Flowerhead now returns to 1000m and if able to tap into the form shown over the minimum trip at the Royal meeting, she stands a real chance of getting her head in front at Listed level.

On the same card Butterfly Beach can take flight in the Highclere Horse Feeds EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes run over 1200m.

The Acclamation filly, who is trained by Ed Walker and owned by Lady Bamford, made her debut at Newmarket's July course in late June in a 1200m novice.

There she was second when beaten 2.75-lengths, a sound debut from which she is entitled to come on when she takes to the track again to continue efforts to recoup some of her 470,000 guineas purchase price.

At Epsom it is Owen Burrows' Calendar Girl who can come out on top in the Betfred 'PickYourPunt' EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes under David Probert.

The Advertise filly began her career at Newbury last month, landing a 1400m fillies' maiden by 3.5-lengths with notable ease among a field of nine.

She remains at the same trip for her second run and appears to be the horse to beat based on that performance.

At Newmarket, William Haggas' Suhub appeals in the Jenningsbet EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes, where she attempts to get her head in front at the sixth time of asking.

The three-year-old has twice been the runner-up in her career so far, including when most recently seen in an encouraging run in a Leicester novice in late July. - Press Association
