BetMGM: It's Showtime Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Twice-raced maiden (unseated start on debut). 9/1, fourth of 10 at Newcastle (6f) 27 days ago. Likely to improve.

Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 10/3) 26 days ago, just failing. Strong claims.

Twice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, second of 11 in novice (evens) at this course (8.1f) 29 days ago. Might need a bit more to open account here.

€130,000 2-y-o, Siyouni gelding. Half-brother to smart 1m-1¾m winner Soulcombe. Wears hood. One to take seriously on debut for top yard.

Down the field in York/C&D novices.

Blue Point filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including winner up to 8.2f Ataared and 6.5f winner Najwaa, both useful in France. Dam French 2-y-o 7f/1m winner. Market can guide.

Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 80/1) 16 days ago, left poorly placed. From a useful family and middle distances are likely to suit.

Mayson filly. Closely related to 5f winner Lazyitis and half-sister to 6f winner Roshambo.

€26,000 foal, £110,000 yearling, Ten Sovereigns filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 1m/9f winner Zaffinah and 2-y-o 5f winner Band Practice, both useful. Dam winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f winner). Yard had an impressive winning newcomer on AW last month so she could be worth monitoring.

15,000 gns yearling, Land Force filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 6f Windstormblack and 1m winner Azahara Palace. Yard rather quiet but enjoyed plenty of success with newcomers in 2023.
