Timeform’s Top Juveniles: A State Of Rest Filly With A Huge Future

Wait 5 sec.

The Timeform rankings return to highlight the top-rated maiden/novice winners in Britain and Ireland from the last fortnight (July 6-19), with a first-crop son of Rathbarry Stud's State Of Rest leading the way.=5. HAFFNERJustify – Earth Strike (Ire), by Zoffany (Ire)Timeform performance rating: 90Haffner stepped up markedly on his debut form when winning the 7f maiden run at Newmarket's July Festival on July 11, making the most of his experience as he led from pillar to post to land the spoils by a length and a half in comfortable fashion.Only seven runners went to post, but it's a maiden that seems sure to throw up plenty of winners, certainly if recent evidence is anything to go by. Indeed, having been won by Field Of Gold in 2024, last year's renewal featured rare depth for a race of that nature, with eight of the first 10 now possessing a Timeform master rating of 100 or above, including the pair who fought out the finish, Distant Storm (Night Of Thunder) and Constitution River (Wootton Bassett).A stablemate of Constitution River at Ballydoyle, TDN Rising Star Heffner seems sure to go on to bigger and better things in his own right, with a race such as the G3 Acomb Stakes at York's Ebor Festival appealing as the obvious next step. A $375,000 purchase at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale, he should stay further when the situation demands it, too, with his dam being a half-sister to the top-class stayer Order Of St George. Smart prospect Haffner, a colt by Justify, wins what is traditionally a strong @NewmarketRace maiden.Team @Ballydoyle are off to a flyer on July Cup day! pic.twitter.com/Y6q0BI8pdU— Racing TV (@RacingTV) July 11, 2026 =5. SATELLITE OF LOVE (IRE)Minzaal (Ire) – Maybride (GB), by Mayson (GB)Timeform performance rating: 90A debut winner at Windsor back on May 23, Satellite Of Love took a big step forward to follow up at Newbury on July 18, despite still looking far from the finished article. Indeed, it was only close home that he asserted to get the verdict by a neck, having shown signs of greenness when first produced to lead a furlong out.The first two in that 6f novice pulled three lengths clear of the remainder, while the timefigure underlines that this was a fairly useful effort from Satellite Of Love, who was conceding 4lb to the runner-up and promises to improve again with this experience under his belt. He must be considered another likely type for the Harry's Half Million at York for Clive Cox and Middleham Park Racing, the same combination that won it last year with Song Of The Clyde.Certainly, the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale has been a happy hunting ground for Cox over the years, with the Lambourn trainer being the one to sign for Satellite Of Love when he fetched £45,000. This colt is all speed on pedigree, with his dam, a dual winner over 6f, being a full-sister to the G3 Firth Of Clyde Stakes runner-up Rosebride who, in turn, is the dam of the Ayr Gold Cup winner and Listed Dragon Stakes second Significantly (Garswood). Defies the penalty!Clive Cox's Satellite Of Love makes it two wins from two with a gutsy display at Newbury… pic.twitter.com/CrsQc9dAfG— At The Races (@AtTheRaces) July 18, 2026 4. UNDISCOVERED (IRE)New Bay (GB) – Casimia (Ire), by Siyouni (Fr)Timeform performance rating: 95Trained by Ralph Beckett, Undiscovered returned to Salisbury to make it two from two with a straightforward novice success on July 11, leading on the bridle around two furlongs out and just needing to be kept up to his work from there to win by over three lengths. That was a useful performance under a penalty, conceding 4lb to each of his five rivals, while he also demonstrated his versatility in coping with an extra furlong and quicker ground, having made a winning debut over 6f on heavy.Still very much a work in progress, Undiscovered may find Pattern company coming as a shock to the system at this stage, but he has the potential to prove himself of that standard somewhere down the line. The second foal out of a half-sister to the G1 Prix Jacques le Marois winner Al Wukair, he looks a fun type for his Raceshare owners to go to war with, having been purchased for 55,000gns at the Tattersalls December Yearling Sale. Every inch one to follow! Undiscovered makes it two wins from as many starts despite conceding weight all round.The son of New Bay looks decidedly useful.@RalphBeckett | @RaceShare | @BallylinchStud pic.twitter.com/ryWdDNohjG— Racing TV (@RacingTV) July 11, 2026 =2. DR RASCAL (GB)Sottsass (Fr) – Little Miss Rascal (GB), by Zoffany (Ire)Timeform performance rating: 96There was a bit of drama at the start of the 7f novice run at Ascot on July 11, with the newcomer Mr Twig unseating his rider and then biting the leg of the jockey on Dr Rascal, Kaiya Fraser. Mr Twig was subsequently withdrawn, whereas Dr Rascal, having briefly been loose himself, proceeded to produce a very professional display in the race itself, breaking alertly and never looking stronger than at the finish as he made all to win by over two lengths.Now unbeaten in two starts, having made a winning debut in a 7f maiden at Leicester on June 13, Dr Rascal demonstrated a smart change of gear at Ascot and shouldn't be underestimated if taking up his entry in the G2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood next week, with the pedigree to back up the excellent impression he's created thus far.Owned and bred by Charlie and Julia Rosier, Dr Rascal's dam is an unraced half-sister to the G3 Newtownanner Stud Irish EBF Stakes heroine Queen Of Hawaii (Kingman) and Up And Under (Lope De Vega), who was runner-up in both the G3 Ballysax Stakes and G3 Derby Trial Stakes at Leopardstown.Meanwhile, his great granddam is the 1,000 Guineas second Jacqueline Quest (Rock Of Gibraltar), who was famously demoted after passing the post first at Newmarket back in 2010. Dr Rascal's granddam, the Listed Brown Panther Stakes runner-up Hibiscus (Galileo), is one of five black-type performers out of Jacqueline Quest, with the others including the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner Line Of Duty (Galileo) and the G1 Prix de l'Opera second Jackie Oh (Galileo). An eventful race for Kaiya Fraser!The rider was unshipped at the start and had to be assessed before returning to the saddle but Dr Rascal makes up for it by bounding clear to make it two from two…@Ascot | @whatcomberacing pic.twitter.com/V3xpVwxKii— At The Races (@AtTheRaces) July 11, 2026 =2. JAAN KI TUKRI (IRE)Kodiac (GB) – Sunset Dazzle (Ire), by Teofilo (Ire)Timeform performance rating: 96Jaan Ki Tukri is rather more exposed than the other five horses on the list, having already run four times before he finally opened his account in the 6f maiden run at Ffos Las on July 14. He looked to have a penalty kick on that occasion and duly made no mistake at odds of 4-7, dominating from start to finish in first-time cheekpieces to win unchallenged by four lengths.That clearly wasn't the strongest race of its type, but the timefigure provides a bit of substance to the form, suggesting that there was no fluke about Jaan Ki Tukri's previous effort when he finished a close-up ninth (beaten a little over three lengths) as a 125-1 shot for the G2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot.Bought for 140,000gns at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, Jaan Ki Tukri's pedigree received an update on Sunday when his half-sister, Vina Arana (Make Believe), won the GII Nassau Stakes at Woodbine. Pattern races could now be back on the agenda for this colt, although, from a BHA mark of 95, he'd also be a candidate for some good nurseries, without having to find the significant improvement that black-type contests would demand for him. Nice and straightforward!After finishing ninth in the Coventry the last day, Jaan Ki Tukri gets off the mark with ease under @Rossaryan15 at @FfosLasRC… pic.twitter.com/FsxayM3tsB— At The Races (@AtTheRaces) July 14, 2026 1. STAR OF STATE (IRE)State Of Rest (Ire) – Nations Alexander (Ire), by Dark Angel (Ire)Timeform performance rating: 98The Curragh played host to some promising two-year-olds over the weekend, including Porto Vecchio (Frankel), who earned TDN Rising Star status when winning the 7f maiden run on July 18. However, his Timeform performance rating of 89 wasn't quite good enough to see him get a spot in our rankings, for all that he clearly has bundles of potential to improve.Instead, top spot this week goes to another TDN Rising Star in Star Of State, who looked something well out of the ordinary for the Joseph O'Brien stable when winning Leopardstown's 6.5f maiden on July 18. Eight days on from her debut second at Fairyhouse, she confirmed the promise of that effort and then some when justifying odds-on favouritism with a powerful front-running display at Leopardstown, quickening right away under a hands-and-heels ride to win by nine lengths.A second winner and first TDN Rising Star for Rathbarry Stud's freshman sire, State Of Rest, Star Of State is another who could be bound for York's Ebor Festival, with the G2 Lowther Stakes – a race in which her dam finished fourth back in 2016 – being earmarked as a potential target. A €85,000 purchase at the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale, she is the third winner out of Nations Alexander, who also won the G3 Sweet Solera Stakes and finished third in both the G2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes and G2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte as a juvenile. You don't see that camera angle at @LeopardstownRC often Just the nine-length win for Star Of State pic.twitter.com/RFoTYPSloZ— Racing TV (@RacingTV) July 16, 2026The post Timeform’s Top Juveniles: A State Of Rest Filly With A Huge Future appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
