EBF Stallions Youngsters Conditions Stakes (Plus 10)

An intriguing Conditions Stakes for the youngsters. Both Havana Star and Inviolable Spirit have already shown plenty of promise, with the latter named setting the benchmark on his Ascot third, albeit a shade disappointing that he wasn't able to finish a fraction closer to the front two. The Richard Guest trained juveniles have been attracting much market support this term, so it's somewhat of a guessing game as to the chances of both Situation and Squirrelheed (a non runner here last month). However, another Guest trained newcomer Fink Hill finished two places behind RUFUS KING at Newcastle last week in a race which could turn out to be a very strong novice event (won by Rajasinghe). The selection posted a solid opening effort and has the size and scope to strengthen further, and he's a sporting bet turned out quickly on his turf debut in slightly better company.
