Starryfield rates as the value NAP at 38.7% fair chance versus 33.7% market probability (+4.6% EV).
Shaped well when a debut second in 6f Thirsk maiden in August, but failed to build on it when third of four in 6f Brighton maiden the following month; since gelded and this son of No Nay Never is worth another chance on his reappearance.
Fair form when twice placed in 5f/6f novices at Newcastle in the winter; seemed to find the step up to 7f stretching his stamina when seventh there on his handicap debut last time so he's a player back in trip .
Hinted at promise when fifth over C&D and in 7f Leicester novice last summer; since gelded and this son of Too Darn Hot could take a step forward on his seasonal return.
£40,000 yearling, 1,000gns 2yo; sister to 6f/7f winner Under The Twilight (RPR 95); dam, 6f winner (RPR 86), is a half-sister to 1m winner Border Owl, out of 6f 2yo Listed winning half-sister to 1m Listed winner Edinburgh Knight; Twilight son filly who has already had a wind op ahead of her debut; the market should prove an accurate guide.
Still looked in need of the experience but she stepped up on her debut fifth when fourth of five in 6f AW Lingfield maiden 23 days ago; this daughter of Rumble Inthe Jungle may do better still.
