Unibet/British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Off time: 18:00 | Winning time: 1m 41.41s

Coisty

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: William Cox| T: M Madgwick

300/1

Foaled April 12. Sixties Icon gelding. Brother to 11.4f-1¾m winner Steel An Icon and half-brother to 1¼m-11f winner Tommys Geal and 1m winner Miss Recycled. Yard rarely strikes with newcomers and it's probably best to look elsewhere on this occasion.

Dunamase²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: J & T Gosden

8/11

Once-raced maiden. 10/3, third of 8 in maiden at Sandown (8f, good) on debut 20 days ago. That was an encouraging start to his career and improvement should be forthcoming.

Form: 3

(8)

Flamenco Bay

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: D Menuisier

20/1

Foaled March 21. €72,000 foal, €115,000 yearling, New Bay colt. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Yard in good form recently and it will be interesting to see which way this debutant goes in the betting.

Form:

(7)

Masubi

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

10/3

Foaled January 30. Too Darn Hot colt. Closely related to useful 1½m winner Alqamar and smart winner up to 15f Moonlight Spirit. Obvious appeal given his pedigree and powerful connections, and confidence behind him in the betting would look highly significant.

Form:

(4)

Northern Blaze²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: T Ward

80/1

Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in novice at Sandown (7f, good to firm, 50/1) 28 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps further down the line.

Form: 90

(1)

Prince Of The Seas

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett

8/1

130,000 gns yearling. Half-brother to several winners, including 8.3f-1½m winner Ayrad and winner up to 9.5f Dawn of Hope (successful over 1m at 2 yrs), both smart. Every inch a likely type on paper and the market will be informative.

Form:

(11)

Rue D'etoile

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: D Steele

300/1

Foaled February 20. 1,000 gns yearling, Advertise gelding. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Cymric. Limited appeal on paper.

Form:

(9)

Urban Glimpse

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

4/1

Foaled March 5. Cityscape colt. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 7.6f/8.3f winner Urban Aspect (also by Cityscape) out of useful 1½m winner (stayed 2m) Casual Glance. Hails from a leading yard and the betting should be revealing with regard to expectations.

Form:

Skyelight⁴⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: J F Egan| T: D K Ivory

250/1

Twice-raced maiden. 66/1, last of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) 46 days ago. Opposable.

Form: 60

(10)

Unex Friendly⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: S De Sousa| T: James Owen

80/1

Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in maiden (40/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 8 days ago, worst of draw. Another who appears to be more of a handicapping prospect.

Form: 48

T: R M Beckett J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Dunamase (8/11), Seraph Gabriel (3/1), Masubi (10/3), Urban Glimpse (4/1), Prince Of The Seas (8/1), Flamenco Bay (20/1), Northern Blaze (80/1), Unex Friendly (80/1), Skyelight (250/1), Coisty (300/1), Rue D'etoile (300/1)

MASUBI ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and it will be an ominous sign for his rivals if the market speaks in his favour. The Too Darn Hot colt will need to be pretty decent, though, as Dunamase has already shown plenty of ability, while there are other likely-looking newcomers on show, too, namely (in racecard order) Flamenco Bay, Prince of The Seas and Urban Glimpse.
