The Try Our New Price Boost At Unibet Fillies' Novice Stakes (6.00) at Kempton on Wednesday evening has attracted a number of well-bred debutantes for bloodstock enthusiasts to study and decipher.

One of them is Godolphin homebred Moving Colours, a daughter of Frankel out of Patroness, a Dubawi full-sister to Queen Elizabeth II Stakes winner Poet's Voice.

She is bred on the famed cross that has produced this season's Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Homeless Songs as well as September Stakes scorer Mostahdaf and last year's Derby and King George hero Adayar.

Moving Colours is in turn related to two black-type winners including Pivotal's Jebel Hatta winner Blair House, who was also second in the Ladbrokes Stakes in Australia to Benbatl, and Key Victory, a son of Teofilo who defeated the smart Old Persian in the Newmarket Stakes.

Another interesting newcomer is Sea Me Dance, a Joyce Wallsgrove-bred daughter of Sea The Stars who sold to Dwayne Woods for 110,000gns as a foal from the Tattersalls December Sale.

She is the sixth foal out of the winning Danehill Dancer mare Whirly Dancer, a half-sister to champion middle-distance performer Poet's Word, whose two wins at the highest level came in the King George and Prince of Wales's Stakes.

Sea Me Dance is a half-sister to Beckford, a son of Bated Breath who won the Railway Stakes and finished second in the National Stakes at two for Gordon Elliott.

Another daughter of the great Sea The Stars to make her first start is Sisyphus Strength, a €575,000 purchase by Oliver St Lawrence from Baroda Stud at Arqana's August Sale.

Sporting the colours of Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the filly is out of the stakes-winning Duke Of Marmalade mare Childa, making her a half-sister to Chilean, a son of Iffraaj who defeated subsequent Prix du Jockey Club winner Study Of Man in the Prix la Force in 2018.
