Byerley Stud Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

(9)

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: M L W Bell

Foaled March 20. $50,000 foal, €100,000 2-y-o, War of Will colt. Dam ran twice in USA. Interesting to see what the market has to say.

Form:

(8)

Dissident

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R L Moore| T: R M Beckett

Foaled March 11. Half-brother to several winners, including very smart performer Bluestocking, 7f winner Qirat and 2-y-o 7f-8.6f winner Pomelo, both useful. Looks the part on paper and booking of Ryan Moore, who partnered the winner of this race last year and in 2022, adds to his appeal.

Form:

(6)

Enrolled¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe

Once-raced maiden. Last of 4 in novice at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 12/1) on debut 19 days ago. Will be more street-wise this time and it would be no surprise were he to take a hand in the finish.

Form: 4

(5)

Mister Winston

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding

Foaled March 21. Churchill colt. Closely related to useful winner up to 7f Kinks. Jockey bookings suggest that once-raced stablemate Paragon is the Balding first-string but he's one to note in the betting nonetheless.

Form:

(1)

Nightime Dancer

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon

Foaled April 7. 110,000 gns foal, Ghaiyyath colt. Half-brother to Italian 7f winner Clarissa For Ever. Represents a top 2-y-o yard and the betting will be informative.

Form:

(4)

Orchard¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: W Greatrex

Once-raced maiden. 28/1, last of 13 in maiden at Newbury (7f, good to firm) on debut 19 days ago. Will need to leave that effort well behind if he's to make an impact here.

Form: 0

(10)

Paragon³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in novice (11/1) at Sandown (7f, good to firm) on debut 36 days ago, slowly away. Looked badly in need of the experience on that occasion and likely to show himself in a far better light before long.

Form: 0

(2)

Scarlet Moon²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Joshua Bryan| T: A Watson

Once-raced maiden. 100/1, ninth of 10 in maiden at Newbury (8f, good to firm) on debut 20 days ago. Looks set for another struggle.

Form: 9

(3)

Top Of Pleinmont

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: P D Evans

Foaled February 4. 35,000 gns yearling, Recorder colt. Half-brother to smart 9f-1½m winner Naval College and 1m/8.6f winner Desert Caravan. Market should point the way.

Form:

(7)

Emily Rebecca²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: R Hannon

Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in novice (28/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut 22 days ago, slowly away. That experience certainly won't be wasted on her but newcomer Nightime Dancer is presumably the stable No 1.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Dissident (5/4), Nightime Dancer (9/2), Mister Winston (7/1), Battle Stride (15/2), Paragon (10/1), Enrolled (14/1), Emily Rebecca (14/1), Top Of Pleinmont (16/1), Scarlet Moon (33/1), Orchard (50/1)

This race revolves around well-bred newcomer DISSIDENT, who counts the same connections' classy Bluestocking among his half-brothers and the hint should be taken if there is confidence behind this son of Frankel in the betting. Enrolled showed ability on his introduction at Doncaster and, with improvement on the cards, he is next on the list ahead of likely-looking debutant Nightime Dancer.
