Evenfall (16:45 Newbury — BetVictor EBF Fillies’ Conditions Stakes, Class 2, 6f)
A two-year-old bay filly by Harry Angel, owned by Mrs Hugo Lascelles and trained by George Boughey — who is in outstanding form at 31% over the last fortnight — and partnered by Billy Loughnane, who has a 100% record on her. Evenfall made an immediate impression on debut at Yarmouth on 23 July, winning a Class 4 novice over 5f at 4/6 by 1¾ lengths with plenty in hand. She’s a half-sister to Simmering, a dual winner at 6f and 7f including a Group 2 race, so today’s step up to 6f should bring further improvement rather than concern.
The future entries — Mill Reef Stakes, Cheveley Park Stakes — tell you exactly what connections think of this filly. Boughey doesn’t enter horses at Group 1 level unless he genuinely believes in them, and this conditions race at Newbury is simply a stepping stone.
Verdict: Back to win— top trainer in form, Loughnane retained, blue-chip pedigree, and a filly with Group 1 entries already in the book. 🏇
