Group Two Middleton Fillies' Stakes Guide 2022

Solid mare by Night Of Thunder. She won a listed race at Cork a few weeks ago, and throughout her career, she’s been getting better for racing.

She bolted up at Cork, and won by 4 and a half lengths to some nice enough horses. Some of the best form on offer and she’s a gutsy mare with bags of experience.

Only just caught when finishing second to Dreamloper on her seasonal reappearance. Prior to that, she had won a listed race and a G3 in good style.

She should strip fitter for her recent run, and she’s one of the main protagonists here in a competitive looking race.

5th of 6 last time out on her seasonal debut, she travelled fine but blew up towards the finish. She looked as if she would come on for the run there and the stable is in great form.

Her second to Ville De Grace last October, reads well in the context of this and she was only beaten a half length despite losing a shoe. Good chance.

Very useful horse, Forbearance has plenty of black type to her name, and when last seen she took a G3 in good style at Newmarket.

She definitely has some of the best form on offer, though she is exposed and one of the older horses in here. Interesting.

Noon Star was once talked up as an Oaks filly, unfortunately she’s had her issues and she’s only had the six starts to date. She battled it out well on her reappearance a few weeks ago, beating Technique by a head.

She clearly retains all of her ability, and she should be A1 for today. In the mix.

Useful enough filly, she’s won twice to date, including a listed success, taking the scalp of the well above average Alpine Star.

She has been off the track since August 2021, when finishing last in a French G2. She will need to up her game to win this, but she’s shown glimpses of quality form.
