British Stallion Studs EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:36 | Winning time: 1m 24.89s

(9)

Advance Twentyfive²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 80

8/1

Victor Ludorum colt improved when fourth in a hot 18-runner nursery at York (7f, good to firm, 28/1) 23 days ago. Found only a trio of last-time-out winners too good there and he's a player back in this strong maiden despite conceding weight all round.

Form: 7344

(7)

Ghost Mode^h¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 84| BF

5/4

Ghaiyyath colt. Debut form worked out well and he stepped up himself when third of 12 in maiden at Goodwood (7f, good) in August. Spurned a good opportunity when only second of 4 at Epsom 3 weeks ago but sets a good standard on overall form.

Form: 332

(8)

Steel Fixer²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison

125/1

Too Darn Hot gelding. Sales price went down at 2 yrs and shaped as if in need of time and distance when twelfth of 13 in novice at Thirsk (7f, good, 33/1) on debut 29 days ago.

Form: 0

(4)

Enamorus⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: H Palmer| BF

9/2

Mehmas filly finished third after being sent off favourite for a valuable Newmarket maiden over 6f on debut and ran to similar level when runner-up in an Ascot novice at the same trip 2 weeks later. Place claims.

Form: 32

(3)

Wild Dahlia²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas

2/1

Ardad filly. Plenty of promise when third of 10 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut 22 days ago and she should have more to offer.

Form: 3

(6)

Far Too Fizzy⁹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: S De Sousa| T: D Loughnane

28/1

Far Above colt. Very green when seventh of 9 in maiden at Lingfield (5f, good, 25/1) on debut. Off 94 days. Significantly up in trip. Needs to leave debut form well behind.

Form: 7

(5)

Emerald Coast²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Darragh Keenan| T: H Palmer

33/1

Sergei Prokofiev filly. Knew her job on debut when third of 5 in maiden here (7.6f) but already looked in need of a step up in trip when sixth of 7 in novice (17/2) at Newmarket (7f, good) 29 days ago. Remains open to improvement but likely wants further.

Form: 36

(2)

Bright City Lights

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: E Smyth-Osbourne

33/1

Foaled February 21. 10,000 gns yearling, Territories filly. Half-sister to winner up to 6f Spanish Angel. Dam maiden (stayed 1m). Best watched making debut in strong race.

Rock Of Destiny

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Aidan Keeley| T: L A Dace

100/1

Foaled February 21. Tasleet filly. Dam unraced. Not an obvious type to make a winning debut on paper.

Form:

Forecasts

Ghost Mode (5/4), Wild Dahlia (2/1), Enamorus (9/2), Advance Twentyfive (8/1), Far Too Fizzy (28/1), Bright City Lights (33/1), Emerald Coast (33/1), Rock Of Destiny (100/1), Steel Fixer (125/1)

GHOST MODE was beaten at odds of 1/3 at Epsom last time but is worth another chance given the strength of his form at Kempton and Goodwood. Wild Dahlia showed ability on her debut at Newmarket and appeals as a likely improver for William Haggas, whilst Advance Twentyfive should also be in the mix on the back of a fine run in a strong York nursery.
