Kevin's 60th Birthday Novice Stakes

Won nicely on debut at Salisbury over this trip although the bare form is nothing special, and found the drop down to 7f against him when second at Leicester subsequently. Will appreciate the return to 1m and obvious contender.

Really pleasing debut third at Salisbury recently over 7f and the runner up that night has since franked the form. Finished clear of the remainder and on breeding the extra distance looks sure to bring further improvement.

Has shown little at big price in two maidens and will do better when qualified for handicaps after this.

In rear in a pair of maidens to date and hard to fancy on the evidence to date.

Has beaten just three rivals in two starts to date and likely to do better in handicaps next year.

Very green and no immediate promise in soft ground maiden at Goodwood last weekend and first time cheek pieces will need to have a huge effect.

£150,000 yearling. Bred to be speedy so a bit of a concern to be starting off over 1m.

Showed little on debut but shaped better when fifth of six at Epsom in visor on second start. That form has taken plenty of knocks and now sports blinkers but likely to be seen in a better light when handicapping after this.

Sales price dropped to 70,000 gns in the spring. Half brother to a pair of middle distance winners. Some appeal on breeding though stable newcomers usually come on for the experience.

No promise at 100/1 on debut when outpaced throughout and easy to look elsewhere.

Beaten over 3L on debut by Global Hero and probably ran to a similar level stepping up to this trip on soft ground at Windsor subsequently when third of 11. First run now away from turf and may have more improvement to come.
