bet365 EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

€9,500 foal, Gleneagles colt. Half-brother to 11f/1½m winner Triestina. Dam, French 11f winner, sister to high-class 1m-12.4f winner Monterosso. 20/1, tenth of 14 in class 2 novice at Ascot (7f, firm) on debut 26 days ago. This is much less competitive.

Looked one for the longer term when down the field in novices at Yarmouth/Ascot but capable of a place in this company.

€12,000 yearling, Waldgeist filly. Half-sister to German 1¼m winner Agneta and useful winner up to 1¼m If Not Now. Won 5-runner maiden at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 7/2) on debut 53 days ago, pushed out. Extra 1f will suit and hard to beat under a penalty.

Well held in novices at Kempton/Epsom. Headgear applied.

€18,000 yearling, Sea The Moon gelding. Brother to German 9f winner Fannymoon and another winner abroad. Dam, German 1½m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 2¼m (stayed 2½m) Fun Mac. 28/1, last of 8 in novice at Yarmouth (7f, good) on debut 10 days ago, slowly away.

Foaled February 5. 12,000 gns foal, 12,000 gns yearling, Victor Ludorum colt. Half-brother to French 9f winner The Big Short. Dam maiden half-sister to smart 1¼m/10.5f winner Queen's Jewel. Yard not renowned for winning with newcomers.
