Bayside View (18:25 Newbury — Darley EBF Fillies’ Novice Stakes, 7f)
A two-year-old bay filly by Bayside Boy trained by Michael Bell and ridden by the ever-reliable Oisin Murphy, Bayside View shaped with real promise on debut at Doncaster over 6½f on good to firm ground earlier this month, finishing second of six behind Met Ball, beaten just a neck at 11/1. The winner has since franked the form, giving that run a solid look.
She steps up to 7f here at Newbury on similarly quick ground, and with the dam’s sire being Shamardal — a notable influence for stamina — the extra furlong looks well within her compass. In a small field of just five, her form puts her clear of these rivals on paper, and Murphy in the saddle is a significant booking for a yard looking to get her winning career underway.
Verdict: Back to win — clear form pick in an open novice.
