Steve Poskitt's 60th Birthday Restricted Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

(8)

Arapaho Gold

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods

13/2

Foaled April 10. €42,000 yearling, Bayside Boy gelding. Half-brother to winner abroad by Coulsty. Dam, 5f winner who stayed 7f, half-sister to useful winner up to 10.4f Company Asset.

(7)

Tamam Star⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: K R Burke

4/6

€27,000 Kodi Bear colt who looked unlucky not to finish closer and perhaps even win when finishing a close-up fourth on debut at Musselburgh 6 days ago, denied a run from 2f out. Open to improvement and fancied to make amends turned out quickly.

Form: 4

(2)

Black Velvet Boy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson| T: J & S Quinn

11/1

Foaled March 16. €3,000 foal (private sale), €12,500 yearling, Soldier's Call colt. Half-brother to useful 5f winner Master of My Fate. Dam maiden.

(4)

Kodiak Breeze

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Shane Gray| T: K A Ryan

5/1

Foaled February 25. £18,000 yearling, Kodi Bear gelding. Half-brother to winner abroad by Mayson. Dam lightly-raced sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Gabr. Yard 2-5 with their juveniles so far this term and interesting if market vibes proved positive.

(6)

Waiting For Archie

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey

8/1

Foaled April 1. Lope Y Fernandez colt. Half-brother to 6f winner Maynora. Dam, lightly raced in France, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Princesse de Saba. Another warranting close market attention for clues ahead of debut.

(1)

Bea Kindly¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Barry McHugh| T: Miss Tracy Waggott

80/1

Caturra filly who offered little when last of 9 on debut at Redcar 12 days ago.

Form: 9

(3)

Call Nicki

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

18/1

Foaled February 12. 1,000 gns foal, Soldier's Call filly. Sister to 5f winner Angel's Call. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Bred to be speedy so worth a precautionary market check on racecourse bow.

(5)

Celestial Noir¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby

16/1

Makes appeal on paper but proved easy to back and looked one for later on when down the field in a Beverley novice (5f) last month.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Waiting For Archie (9/4), Tamam Star (5/2), Kodiak Breeze (3/1), Black Velvet Boy (8/1), Arapaho Gold (10/1), Celestial Noir (16/1), Call Nicki (20/1), Bea Kindly (66/1)

TAMAM STAR looked very unlucky not to finish closer, possibly even win when a close up fourth on debut at Musselburgh on Sunday and, with improvement firmly expected, Karl Burke's charge can make amends. Waiting For Archie and Kodiak Breeze are a couple of likely looking newcomers on paper and head up the dangers before market clues.
