EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Twice-raced gelding. 28/1, fifth of 12 in novice at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Has ability but may not really come into his own until handicapping.

125/1, sixth of 8 in novice at Chelmsford City (6f) on debut 20 days ago.

Big prices and down the field both starts. Likely booked for another struggle.

Foaled February 24. Mattmu colt. Dam unraced. This newcomer would need considering if the betting vibes are strong.

Well held in 2 outings over 6f in June. Could only consider if the betting hints that a lot better is anticipated back from a break.

Runner-up in the Brocklesby on debut in March and belatedly built on that promise when second on nursery bow at York (6f) in July. Possible excuses for his defeats in Super Sprint at Newbury and a Glorious Goodwood nursery on his 2 outings since. The one to beat if back to best.

Foaled March 20. 13,000 gns Ardad gelding. Half-brother to winner abroad by Nyquist. Dam US 5f-6.5f winner (2-y-o 6f winner). Check the betting.

Runner-up twice over 5f this summer. Below par when only sixth at Beverley (5f again) since but the step up to just short of 6f may suit. Also equipped with first-time cheekpieces. Respected.

Foaled April 13. Cable Bay filly. Half-sister to French 9.5f winner Space Race. Debutante from a yard which can ready one. Market support worth noting.

40/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Brighton (5.3f, good) on debut in April. Off since.

Foaled April 15. Starman filly. Half-sister to French 1m-9.5f winner Chica de Ciudad. Dam unraced half-sister to smart French/US 8.5f-1¼m winner Homerique.
