British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes (Plus 10)

Off time: 14:28 | Winning time: 1m 12.82s

(2)

Corndavon Lad¹⁷

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

9/1

Camacho colt; cost £55,000 as a yearling; upped his game when encountering good ground at Nottingham (5f) earlier this month when beaten just under 3L by Al Aakif; has an extra furlong to cover here, but remains one of the likelier winners.

Form: 582

(7)

Matera¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan

4/1

£62,000 vendor yearling; green on debut at Haydock (5f, soft) a fortnight ago when finishing a never nearer 5L fourth to the promising Dubai Station (K.Burke); ought to have taken plenty from that, and this new trip (6f) should prove more suitable.

Form: 4

(1)

The New Marwan²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey

9/4

42,000gns yearling; finished well from off the pace when a much improved second to Raffle Prize over 6f at Chester (good) 25 days ago; encounters very similar conditions, and much like his stablemate Corndavon Lad must figure high on the shortlist.

Form: 62

(6)

Aberama Gold

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Gray| T: K Dalgleish

8/1

€20,000 foal; fifth foal from a 5f AW juvenile winning dam (Nigella); half-brother to three winners including the useful sprinter El Hombre (5f-6f); yard are flying at present - saddled a five-timer on Monday (at Carlisle/Catterick).

Form:

(4)

Haldane

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: Phillip Makin

7/2

€70,000 yearling (not sold at £19,000 at the breeze-ups); first foal from a Group- placed 5f winner (One Chance); market helpful in assessing his chance, but it's probable that others will prove far wiser.

Form:

(3)

One Hart

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

5/1

£50,000 yearling; fourth foal; half-brother to the 1m1f winner Furiosa; hails from a much respected yard who continue to knock in a steady stream of winners; like a few of these horses was declared to race at last week's abandoned Haydock fixture.

Form:

Non-Runners

Bad Rabbit²⁶

Weight: 9-5| Age: 2

Forecasts

The New Marwan (9/4), Haldane (7/2), Matera (4/1), One Hart (5/1), Aberama Gold (8/1), Corndavon Lad (9/1), Bad Rabbit (66/1)

A competitive juvenile maiden in which the newcomer One Hart is worthy of inspection, although the suspicion is that he'll come into his own over further. Matera is likely to have taken plenty from his Haydock debut (an eye-catching fourth to a promising type) and assuming that he copes with this sounder surface should benefit by stepping up in trip. However, it is Richard Fahey who holds the nap hand, with Corndavon Lad and THE NEW MARWAN both obvious candidates for success. The selection is the mount of the promising 3lb claimer Sean Davis, and the pair can make amends for missing a suitable winning opportunity following the abandonment of Haydock (Thursday).
