British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes

Off time: 12:03 | Winning time: 1m 17.19s

(6)

Admirable Lad²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, ninth of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 24 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 89

(5)

Arcadian Nights¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: M R Channon

7/1

18/1, fourth of 8 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good) on debut 12 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Likely to need more time and distance.

Form: 4

(3)

Fighter Pilot³⁴

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

9/4

Promising individual. Third of 9 in minor event (12/1) at Newcastle (6f) on debut 34 days ago. Should have more to offer and he's high on the shortlist.

Form: 3

(9)

Inver Park²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon| T: M Quinn| OR: 74

13/2

Promising individual. Fourth of 9 in minor event (11/2) at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago, not ideally placed. May well do better and claims if coping with conditions here.

Form: 44

(2)

Kidyounot¹¹

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

11/1

Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, fifth of 7 in minor event at Ripon (6f, soft) 11 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps further down the line. One of 3 representing the Tim Easterby yard.

Form: 05

(12)

So Dubai^t¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ella McCain⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby

40/1

Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 9 in maiden (28/1) at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 13 days ago, not clear run. Jockey bookings suggest that Kidyounot is the stable No 1.

Form: 05

(1)

Symbol of Hope

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

14/1

Foaled February 23. Dam, useful Italian 2-y-o 5f/6f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o winner Mr Scarlet. Interesting to see how he fares in the betting, particularly in relation to his stablemates.

Form:

(11)

Tees Spirit¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J Ward

66/1

Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in minor event at Ripon (6f, soft, 125/1) 11 days ago. Another who may be seen in a better light when going down the handicap route.

Form: 96

(4)

Tom Mix^b1⁶¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Harrison Shaw⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado

100/1

Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 61 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time.

Form: 09

(10)

Trumble¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: D Loughnane

16/5

25/1, fourth of 7 in minor event at Chester (7f, good) on debut 10 days ago, not knocked about. Should be sharper now and may do better on this more conventional track.

Form: 4

(8)

Lady Roseta⁸²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: P D Evans

18/1

Twice-raced maiden. 6/1, ninth of 13 in minor event at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm) 82 days ago. More needed.

Form: 59

(7)

Louby Lou¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Barry McHugh| T: D Carroll

7/1

25/1, seventh of 8 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good) on debut 12 days ago. Will need to leave that form well behind in order to make a serious impact in this contest.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Fighter Pilot (9/4), Trumble (16/5), Inver Park (13/2), Arcadian Nights (7/1), Louby Lou (7/1), Kidyounot (11/1), Symbol of Hope (14/1), Lady Roseta (18/1), So Dubai (40/1), Tees Spirit (66/1), Tom Mix (100/1), Admirable Lad (150/1)

FIGHTER PILOT failed to lay a glove on the first two on debut at Newcastle but there's plenty of substance to that form (the winner subsequently finished runner-up in a Group 2, and the second has won since) and he is open to plenty of improvement. Conditions shouldn't be an issue (his sire's progeny generally handle plenty of cut in the ground) and he gets the nod ahead of Trumble and Inver Park.
