Unibet/British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race) (Div 2)

Big prices when down the field in strong maidens at Newmarket and Goodwood. Should make more of an impact here.

Dark Angel colt from a useful family who built on debut when fourth of 11 in maiden (33/1) at Sandown (7f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Considered in this weaker event.

Foaled March 22. 125,000 gns yearling, Supremacy colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Barefoot Angel and 2-y-o 7f winner Private Rocket. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner who probably stayed 1m. Likely type.

Foaled May 11. €110,000 yearling, Zarak colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 7.5f Shalromy and 2-y-o 1m winner Dorabella, both in France. Dam, French 10.5f winner, half-sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Desert Icon. Noteworthy newcomer.

Universal colt. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 7f Beauty Crescent out of smart winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) Up In Time. Tongue strap on, fifth of 8 in novice at Southwell (7.1f, 100/1) on debut 23 days ago.

A mix of speed and stamina on breeding and better for debut when fourth of 8 in maiden at Ffos Las (7.4f, good, 3/1) 15 days ago, tired late and run out of placings. Sharper test here should suit.

Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in novice at this C&D (125/1) 14 days ago.

15,000 gns yearling, Time Test colt. Better effort when fifth of 11 in maiden at Sandown (7f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Player in this weaker event.

500,000 gns yearling, Acclamation colt. Brother to smart 7f/1m winner Currawood. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 7f-1m winner Oh This Is Us (by Acclamation) out of smart winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner) Shamwari Lodge. Last of 7 in novice (16/1) at York (7f) on debut 53 days ago, always behind.
