Midnite: Built For 2026 Not 2006 Restricted Maiden Stakes (Rider Restricted Race) (GBB Race)

€27,000 foal, £26,000 yearling. Cotai Glory gelding. Three-year-old, second foal whose dam is half-sister to smart 1m winner Flashcard. Debutant likely one for the longer-term, unless market suggests otherwise.

Shaped well when runner-up on debut at Kempton in October. Only fourth of 8 in novice at Brighton (5/4 fav) later that month, keen and didn't look at ease on that very different course while still showing greenness. Worth another chance back on AW.

Best effort when runner-up in maiden at this C&D in November. Not settle fully when third in similar event 28 days ago. Capable of being competitive if settling better.

15,000 gns yearling. Showcasing gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 9.5f/1¼m winner (stays 1½m) Lordsbridge Blu and 6f (including at 2 yrs) winner Rebel Redemption (2-y-o 6f winner). Dam 7f winner. Pedigree offers some hope but betting can prove best guide on debut.

Runner-up three times in maidens, including at this C&D (7/2) 13 days ago, comfortably seen off by the odds-on winner. Starting to look exposed but she's a player here.
