British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Median Auction Stakes

Most Improved colt, cost €32,000 as a yearling. Dam a winner over hurdles and yard have been in flying form with their juveniles this year. Well beaten on debut but things didn't pan out for him there and he may do better this time around.

Epaulette colt, cost €130,000 as a yearling. Dam a two-year-old sprint winner. Nice blend of speed and stamina in his pedigree and yard's debutantes always warrant respect. Interesting runner from a nice draw.

Rock Of Gibraltar colt, cost 75,000 gns as a yearling. Beaten out of sight on debut and second start not much better. Type to do better in handicaps given his connections.

Sinndar colt, cost €52,000 as a yearling. First foal of a Listed-placed 7f winner who is a half-sister to 6f/1m winner Courances. Too green to do himself justice on debut but he should come on for that effort and do better here.

Most Improved colt, cost €32,000 as a foal and €30,000 as a yearling and a half-brother to sprint winners in Italy and Greece. Well beaten on debut at Chelmsford when never able to get competitive after a slow start and while he should come on plenty for that, he'll need to find a lot of improvement to figure in a deeper contest here.

Havana Gold colt, cost 90,000 gns as a foal and 200,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to smart sprinter Archimedes out of winning full-sister to Group 3 winner Bungleinthejungle. Makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and while he was well beaten at Sandown on debut, he was the subject of some market support and may do better this time around.

Harbour Watch gelding, cost 22,000 gns as a foal and £60,000 as a yearling. Fifth of 10 on debut at Chelmsford, making up some ground in the latter stages. Sure to come on for that but form of the race has taken a couple of knocks since and draw not ideal here so perhaps best watched this time.

Camacho gelding, cost €9,000 as a foal and €22,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to moderate stayer Buzz Boy and dam a multiple winner in Italy. Looks up against it on debut and likely to be in need of further.

Sixties Icon filly, cost 2,000 gns as a yearling. Beat three rivals home in a ten runner maiden over 6f here on good-to-soft ground when making her debut last month. Yard had a two-year-old winner at the weekend and interesting to see how she fares here but others come in with more attractive profiles.

Rip Van WInkle filly, half-sister to Halinka. Dam a two-year-old winner and half-sister to Powderhorn and Pile Ou Cace. Yard capable of readying one for a debut and no surprise to see her run well for a trainer who has a good record at this course (17.65%).
