racingtv.com Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race) (Div 2)

No encouragement in maiden at Ripon last summer for Ann Duffield.

28,000 gns Kodi Bear colt. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to useful 6f winner Chocoya. Very promising start when fourth of 15 in a strong Newmarket novice in the autumn and has been found a weak novice on comeback.

Toronado half-brother to several winners, including useful 6f-7f winner Silent Echo. Much improved from debut when third in Newcastle novice in November, clear of rest. Likely to progress further but up against a potentially useful one here.

Gregorian gelding who was much sharper second time up when third in Southwell novice 3 weeks ago but another step forward is required.

Well held in novice/maiden.

€17,000 foal, €20,000 yearling, Far Above gelding. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to winner up to 7f Gusto and 1m/8.6f winner Beauly (both smart) out of 7f/1m winner Pickle. Yard 0-5 with 3-y-o newcomers last 12 months.

Showed little in novice/maiden.

Encouraging third of 7 in novice at Newcastle on debut in November but went backwards there 4 months later.

Well held in 7f novices at Southwell.
