Leger Festival On Sky Sports Racing Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Promise on debut but only ran to a similar level when fifth of 9 in maiden at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. That still ranks amongst the best form on offer and can go closer this term.

Once-raced maiden. 80/1, fourth of 6 in minor event at Kempton (5f) on debut 23 days ago. Likely to need further on pedigree and looks tough to fancy on second start.

Lightly-raced maiden. Placed all 4 starts, most recently when third of 13 in maiden at Thirsk (5f, good, 7/2) 32 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. The one to beat.

Last in maiden/minor event at Newmarket and can't be fancied on any evidence so far.

Hinted at ability when fifth of 9 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 20/1) on debut 33 days ago. Possible he could step forward this time.

Foaled April 21. 5,000 gns yearling, Tamayuz filly. Dam, 9.4f winner, closely related to useful 8.6f-1½m winner Bashiyr out of useful winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) Baliyana. Pedigree not particularly inspiring but makes debut in weak event.

Twice-raced maiden. Travelled with promise when making debut early in season and possibly needed run after 4-month break when last of 8 in minor event at this C&D (AW) 22 days ago. Could do better.

Foaled March 22. 44,000 gns yearling, Showcasing filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 7f Private Matter and 1m winner Mon Choix, both useul. Dam of little account. Should be able to make presence felt on debut.
