Welsh Cottage Cakes EBF Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Has shaped well when placed over 6f at Newmarket and Windsor. 7f promises to suit him. Tough to beat with further progress likely.

Foaled February 6. €140,000 Churchill half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 1m Magical Dreamer and useful 2-y-o 5f winner Piece of Paradise. Dam 1m winner. Interesting newcomer.

Foaled May 21. €75,000 Phoenix of Spain colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 1¼m Azov and 11f winner Fort Templier. Dam, 9f winner, half-sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner Danceteria. Stable has enjoyed some 2-y-o success this season so he's worth a second look in the betting.

11/1, ninth of 13 in novice at Salisbury (7f, good) on debut 24 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot.

25/1, last of 13 in novice at Salisbury (7f, good) on debut 24 days ago. More one for the longer term on that evidence.

€120,000 breeze-up buy by Kodiac colt. Closely related to 2-y-o 6f winner Rosadora and half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 9f Imperioso and 2-y-o 7f winner Coeur d'Amour. The stable won a 7f maiden at Glorious Goodwood so a market move for this one could prove significant.

Down the field in 2 runs over 6f. A longer trip and a first-time hood need to spark significant improvement.

150/1, tenth of 15 in maiden at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) on debut 20 days ago. Up in trip.

75,000 gns breeze-up buy. Ulysses half-brother to 3 winners, including 7f/1m winner Own Accord and 7f winner Sunfall. Dam, 7f/1m winner, sister to smart 6f-7f winner Dark Trooper. Bold Impact has to be considered the yard first string unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Foaled April 29. Massaat gelding. Half-brother to unreliable 1m/8.4f winner Amity Island and 6f-11f winner Lethal Blonde. Dam once-raced half-sister to winner up to 9f Turn Cartwheels. Likely best watched on debut.
