Grace And Dotty Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Off time: 16:40 | Winning time: 1m 38.64s

(2)

Sardinian Warrior¹⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: J & T Gosden| CD

8/13

Promising sort. 1 win from 1 run this year. 7/4, won 10-runner C&D novice with plenty in hand in April. Absent since but this well-bred colt remains open to improvement.

Form: 2-1

(10)

Marble Sands¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

66/1

Smart jumps winner. Twice-raced maiden on Flat. 150/1, sixth of 7 in novice at Kempton (12f) 19 days ago, slowly away. Readily passed over.

Form: 66

(7)

Corundum³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jonny Peate| T: L Wadham

12/1

Promising individual. Third of 8 in maiden (14/1) at this C&D 32 days ago, never nearer. Likely capable of better and he's a live each-way candidate.

Form: 63

(6)

Meridian Way²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: C Johnston

125/1

Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 14 in maiden at Carlisle (11.2f, good to soft, 40/1) 24 days ago. Down in trip and he's probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 80

(11)

Star Of Jupiter

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane

150/1

€85,000 yearling but price dropped to 9,000 when resold this year and he's probably best watched on debut.

Form:

(8)

Stipulation

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Garritty| T: D M Loughnane

80/1

€55,000 foal, €155,000 yearling, 22,000 gns 3-y-o, New Bay gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 7f winner Queen of Power and 1m winner Octavia. Like stablemate Star of Jupiter, he's opposable first-time-out.

Form:

(9)

Tawajjah¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

7/4

Promising individual. 10/3, second of 14 in novice at Windsor (8.1f, good) 19 days ago, conceding first run. That looked like a nice little race and this Frankel colt is a big player with further improvement on the cards.

Form: 7-2

(4)

Warm Response

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ross Coakley| T: S & E Crisford

12/1

Golden Horn gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including very smart winner up to 1½m Prize Money and useful winner up to 7f Dubai One. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. One to monitor closely in the betting.

Form:

(5)

Alchemystery

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: M Crawley

200/1

5,000 gns foal, 8,000 gns yearling, Nathaniel filly. Dam, 1½m winner who stayed 16.5f, half-sister to useful winner up to 1½m Hail Caesar. Entitled to come on for the run.

Form:

(3)

Dopamine

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott

50/1

New Bay filly. Half-sister to 8.6f winner Rubbeldiekatz. The market should serve as a guide in terms of expectations surrounding this filly on her introduction.

Form:

(1)

So Lah De Dah

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Billy Loughnane| T: A King

33/1

Charm Spirit filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Haughty. Dam 1m winner out of useful 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Dignify. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run and this filly is likely to do just that.

Form:

Forecasts

Sardinian Warrior (8/13), Tawajjah (7/4), Warm Response (12/1), Corundum (12/1), So Lah De Dah (33/1), Dopamine (50/1), Marble Sands (66/1), Stipulation (80/1), Meridian Way (125/1), Star Of Jupiter (150/1), Alchemystery (200/1)

This looks between TAWAJJAH and Sardinian Warrior, with marginal preference for the former who went close on his belated seasonal reappearance at Windsor and there should be plenty more to come from him. Corundum stepped up on his debut when putting in good late work to finish third over C&D last month and he can be expected to pick up a race sooner rather than later. Newcomer Warm Response will be of interest if the market speaks in his favour.
