British Stallion Studs EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:30 | Winning time: 1m 4.44s

(9)

Son Of Astar

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll

18/1

Foaled February 24. Tasleet colt. Dam, winner up to 5.7f (2-y-o 5f winner), half-sister to useful multiple 5f winner Jabbarockie. Not as appealing as some of these on paper.

Form:

(6)

Blewburton

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

4/1

Foaled April 28. €35,000 yearling, resold 5,000 gns yearling, Saxon Warrior gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 1¼m winner Southern Lights. Yard struck with a 2-y-o newcomer recently and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say.

Sonic Si¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Davies| T: D Loughnane

7/2

Promising sort. 3/1, second of 4 in minor event at Southwell (5f) on debut 16 days ago, slowly away. Likely to improve with that run under his belt and he should be in the mix.

Form: 2

(3)

Lift Lady

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy

3/1

Foaled April 1. 38,000 gns yearling, Kodi Bear filly. Sister to 7f winner Lady Onyx. Dam 5f winner out of useful 7f winner Dangle. Stable had a winning 2-y-o newcomer at Yarmouth during the week and she's one to note in the betting.

Form:

(1)

Griselda

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Darragh Keenan| T: George Scott

6/1

Foaled February 20. 34,000 gns yearling, Kodi Bear filly. Dam, 8.6f-1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 2-y-o 7f winner New Energy. Yard can ready a newcomer and the market should be revealing.

Form:

(4)

Poet's Peace

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: E A L Dunlop

6/1

Foaled February 6. £30,000 yearling, Inns of Court filly. Half-sister to winner up to 7f Little Prayer and 6f-7f winner Two Desserts. Yard's newcomers usually come on for a run but she needs a second look in the betting all the same.

Form:

(8)

Unthinkable¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: G Boughey

8/1

Once-raced filly. 22/1, fourth of 6 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on debut 17 days ago. May well come into her own over longer trips in due course.

Form: 4

Non-Runners

Gold Medallist

Weight: 9-5| Age: 2

(2)

Far Above The Law⁴

Weight: 9-3| Age: 2

T: Alice Haynes J: Christian Howarth

Forecasts

Lift Lady (3/1), Sonic Si (7/2), Blewburton (4/1), Griselda (6/1), Poet's Peace (6/1), Unthinkable (8/1), Far Above The Law (8/1), Gold Medallist (10/1), Son Of Astar (18/1)

Having shaped with encouragement on debut at Southwell, SONIC SI may well put his experience to good use and bag this maiden. That said, a market move for pretty much any of the newcomers would be worthy of note, with Blewburton, Lift Lady and Griselda the most appealing of them on paper.
