Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM EBF Maiden Stakes (GBB Race) (Div 1)

Mehmas gelding is being brought along gradually 250/1, sixth of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f) 11 days ago. Tongue strap on first time but will be better off in handicaps.

Massaat gelding. Brother to 1m/8.3f winner Dovey Moon and half-brother to 7f-8.4f winner Rusalka and winner up to 6f Blue Moonrise. Dam, 8.3f-1¼m winner, closely related to very smart 5f/6f winner Charles The Great. Pedigree offers some hope but betting will prove best guide.

€260,000 yearling, Kingman colt. Dam, 6f winner, sister to Chartwell Fillies' Stakes winner/Matron Stakes runner-up Lily's Angel and half-sister to smart 7f/1m winner Zurigha. Well-bred newcomer is in good hands and looks one of the more likely winners.

Time Test colt. Showed more than on debut when eighth of 14 in novice at this C&D (300/1) 16 days ago, well positioned. Looks a longer-term project.

River Boyne gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 7f winner Ghost Queen and 7.3f/1m winner Chavajod. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 1¼m. Bred to make an impact as a juvenile but others appeal more on paper.

€65,000 2-y-o, Sioux Nation colt showed more than on debut when sixth of 9 in novice at this course (6.1f, 125/1) 21 days ago, raced freely. Probably needs more time.

Eqtidaar colt. Half-brother to 7f-9f winner Casaruan and 1m winner Maruna. Dam maiden (stayed 8.5f). Newcomer from in-form yard who know the time of day. Worth a market check.

€250,000 foal, Blue Point gelding. Closely related to useful 2-y-o 1m winner Bold Style. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Tornado Alert. Outstanding pedigree and no surprise to see him make a winning debut for powerful connections.

Mattmuu filly. Dam winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f winner) out of useful/temperamental winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f winner) (stayed 14.5f) Cracking Lass. Yard's newcomers tend to need their first outing.
