Oops A Daisy Florists EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:00 | Winning time: 59.43s

(10)

Baaraka³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: S C Williams

20/1

£17,000 2-y-o, Showcasing colt. 14/1, offered little when fifth of 7 in maiden at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) on debut 30 days ago. This should reveal more but less-than-ideal draw to operate from.

Form: 5

(11)

Bernie The Bear²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey

66/1

Twice-raced colt. 8/1, eleventh of 13 in minor event at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 29 days ago, soon off the bridle and always behind. Can only be watched at present.

Form: 00

(6)

Delirious Dream²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: K P De Foy| OR: 77

5/6

Oasis Dream colt who matched previous best when running on for second in 8-runner Kempton novice (6f) 3 weeks ago. Nicely on top of the remainder then and a repeat makes him the one to beat here.

Form: 6322

(2)

Premier Option¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

3/1

Showed ability on debut in a Thirsk maiden in July and duly took a step forward with a battling display when going down narrowly at Ripon (5f) 16 days ago. Likely he'll stay 6f in due course and he's a player from a handy draw in stall 2.

Form: 82

(4)

Villemacho¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: O McSweeney⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey

22/1

Camacho colt who stepped up on his debut form but was still green and unable to land a blow when sixth of 8 in a Ripon novice (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago (Premier Option second). Nurseries will be more his bag in due course.

Form: 56

(1)

Dark Crusade¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: P T Midgley

28/1

Once-raced gelding. 40/1, modest form when seventh of 8 in Ripon novice (5f, good to firm) on debut 16 days ago. Needs to have derived a good deal from that experience to feature here.

Form: 7

(5)

Glory Call¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears

50/1

Twice-raced gelding. Fourth of 10 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 40/1) 14 days ago, shaken up over 2f out and fading final 1f. Another likely to do better in nurseries in due course.

Form: 04

(3)

Knights Artist²¹

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

22/1

Twice-raced colt. Ninth of 14 in minor event at Newcastle (6f, 16/1) 21 days ago, effort 2f out but unable to land a blow. Had shaped with promise on debut here (6f) and this return to turf may help.

Form: 49

(7)

Liosa⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Barry McHugh| T: Craig Lidster

6/1

€9,500 2-y-o, The Last Lion colt. Shaped clear second best for most of the way when 6.5 lengths third of 4 in maiden at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) on debut 8 days ago, notably travelling well. Capable of better, including back at this 5f trip.

Form: 3

(8)

Giselles Gotit

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jamie Gormley| T: I Jardine

66/1

Foaled March 2. £10,500 yearling, Profitable filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 6f winner Betsey Trotter and winner up to 6f Tilly Trotter, both useful. Market should guide on debut.

Form:

(9)

Princess Luna

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey

14/1

Foaled March 30. Prince of Lir filly. Dam sprint maiden half-sister to useful 1¼m winner Audacia. One of 3 representatives from the Fahey yard and she's another requiring a market check for clues on racecourse bow.

Form:

Forecasts

Delirious Dream (5/6), Premier Option (3/1), Liosa (6/1), Princess Luna (14/1), Baaraka (20/1), Knights Artist (22/1), Villemacho (22/1), Dark Crusade (28/1), Glory Call (50/1), Bernie The Bear (66/1), Giselles Gotit (66/1)

DELIRIOUS DREAM matched his previous best when seen off only by one who took a sizeable step forward in a Kempton novice (6f) 3 weeks ago and, with the drop back to 5f expected to hold no fears, he can make it fifth time lucky. Premier Option went down fighting at Ripon recently and should give the selection plenty to think about from stall 2, with Liosa, who shaped encouragingly himself on debut at Hamilton, also respected.
