EBF Stallions Golden Horn Maiden Stakes (Plus 10)

Danking¹⁰²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: A King

66/1

Has failed to finish above a rival in his two outings to date. His most recent attempt came at Haydock (7f) where there were 11 runners in the race. Is up in trip slightly here where much more is needed so others are preferred.

Form: 50

Finely Tuned²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford

3/1

Made a modest start to his career when he was fifth of 10 at Newcastle (1m) on the AW earlier this month. He was green for much of that contest. Can improve on that performance here if he settles better.

Form: 5

(11)

Itojeh²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: G C O'Neill⁽⁵⁾| T: M & D Easterby

250/1

Came home a long way off the winner when he was last of 14 runners on his opening appearance at Redcar (7f) after going off at 100/1. He was always at the rear in that display. Much more is needed this time. Hard to fancy.

Jumaira Bay¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: R Varian

7/2

Was second of 10 runners last time out at Yarmouth (7f, heavy) in what was a big step up from his modest debut performance. Open to further improvement here over this longer trip. Leading contender.

Form: 52

Junkanoo⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore

11/1

Has been well held on both of his two outings. He came home fourth of eight last time at Sandown (7f). Was staying on strongly at the finish which suggest this step up in trip will help. Has each-way claims.

Form: 94

(5)

Newbolt

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett

10/1

Bated Breath colt who was foaled on February 3. His dam was a winner over 7f. Yard are in form at the moment so he is worth consideration, especially if there is strong market confidence before the race.

Tazaman²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: K Frost

150/1

Had just one runner behind him in an 11 runner field at Kempton (7f) on the AW earlier this month on his debut. He came home 16L behind the winner and was never really in the contest. Improvement needed.

Form: 0

Thunder King⁸⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy

40/1

Has not been in the mix in either of his two starts so far. He could only finish 10th of 13 at Doncaster (7f) on his latest appearance. First attempt at this new trip here. Others make much more of an appeal.

Form: 50

(8)

Tinnahalla²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 75

5/1

Has finished second on his last two starts, including in a 13 runner contest at Windsor (1m) on his latest outing where he was 4½L behind the winner.. Remains open to improvement so is one to consider.

Form: 522

Tremor⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: T P Queally| T: A King

50/1

Failed to beat a single horse on his debut at Sandown in an eight runner field after going off at 33/1. He was slowly away and never got into the contest. Needs to take a huge stride forward this time to be in the mix.

Form: 8

Forecasts

Bobby The Great (11/4), Finely Tuned (3/1), Jumaira Bay (7/2), Tinnahalla (5/1), Newbolt (10/1), Junkanoo (11/1), Thunder King (40/1), Tremor (50/1), Danking (66/1), Tazaman (150/1), Itojeh (250/1)

JUMAIRA BAY was second at Yarmouth on his last start and that is arguably the standout performance any of these runners has produced and he can build upon that here with success on his third career appearance. Tinnahalla has hit the frame on his last two appearances and should once again put up a strong challenge, while Bobby The Great is a Frankel colt who can be expected to be much better than his debut at Newmarket so take him to fill up the placings.
