British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes (Plus 10) (Div 2)

Off time: 15:37 | Winning time: 1m 25.02s

(2)

Daffy Grey¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby

66/1

Son of Zebedee who cost 8,500 gns as a yearling. He was slowly away before making some late headway on debut at Thirsk and although improvement is likely, he looks one for handicaps further down the line.

Form: 6

(6)

Duffy²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey

25/1

By Australian sire Redoute's Choice, he cost 35,000 gns as a yearling and is from the family of top-class middle-distance performer Pentire. Needed the experience when last of 11 on debut at Haydock and needs to take a huge step forward.

Form: 0

Lever Du Soleil¹⁰⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

50/1

Has been gelded following down-the-field efforts at Haydock and Ripon. Qualifies for a handicap mark after this and that s where his future probably lies.

Form: 78

(4)

Muzaawel

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: S bin Suroor

5/2

Son of New Approach whose dam won over 1m1f in France. Represents powerful connections and is clearly one to be interested in on debut.

Sunstorm³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P Makin| T: D H Brown

33/1

Has cut little ice in starts at Doncaster and Lingfield. Unlikely to trouble the best of these and is probably one for nurseries later in the season.

Form: 07

(7)

Valdolobo⁴⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: K R Burke

8/11

Lope De Vega colt who cost £34,000 as a yearling. Well supported beforehand, he ran well to be third on debut at Haydock. From a stable with strength in the juvenile division, he looks a leading player.

Form: 3

(1)

Angel Carlotta

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: N Tinkler

33/1

Daughter of Camelot who fetched €80,000 as a yearling and is a half-sister to five winners. Stable enjoying a decent season, but is not noted for juvenile winners.

Form:

Calling Rio¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 68

16/1

Only fair form so far, but seems to be improving with each run. Might hold stronger claims in nursery company in the future.

Form: 853

(3)

Ventura Royal²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 67

5/1

Has shown steady improvement in three runs, culminating in last time's third at Thirsk. It will be surprising if she is good enough to win this, but a race of some sort should come her way before long.

Form: 953

Forecasts

Valdolobo (8/11), Muzaawel (5/2), Ventura Royal (5/1), Calling Rio (16/1), Duffy (25/1), Sunstorm (33/1), Angel Carlotta (33/1), Lever Du Soleil (50/1), Daffy Grey (66/1)

Any market support for Godolphin newcomer Muzaawel would be significant, but he has quite a stout pedigree and this trip might be a bit sharp. He may still be good enough, but VALDOLOBO hails from a stable with several talented juveniles and this one did little wrong on debut in what was probably a decent contest. Angel Carlotta has a nice pedigree and is interesting on debut, while Ventura Royal is likely to get her head in front before too long.
