Happy Birthday Joe McCabe Claiming Stakes

Ran green when finishing last of 4 in novice at Musselburgh on debut last month and much more like it when a keeping-on second at Thirsk 11 days ago. In top hands and this looks an excellent opportunity.

Foaled April 26. €35,000 foal, 10,000 gns yearling, Supremacy colt. Half-brother to useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Action Point and 5f winner Desert Swirl. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 6f. Bred to be sharp but showed nothing over C&D 3 weeks ago.

Foaled March 31. €20,000 foal, €16,000 yearling, Kodiac gelding. Brother to 5f winner Alhather and half-brother to 5f winner Billie Be Quick. Dam 7f winner. Looked badly in need of the experience when last of 15 starting out at York (6f). Eases in class and yard among the winners.

Foaled February 16. 11,000 gns yearling, Tasleet gelding. Half-brother to 5f/6f winner Sarafina Mshairi. Dam unraced out of useful winner up to 5f (including at 2 yrs who stayed 7f) Sara Lucille. Represents a leading 2-y-o stable but on the retreat when hampered on Bath debut. Cheekpieces applied.

Tasleet filly who took a step forward from her debut when third of 9 in a C&D maiden at the beginning of the month. Failed to repeat that effort at Thirsk 11 days ago and her limitations are now evident.

Foaled April 13. 5,000 gns yearling, Supremacy filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f-7f winner Advertised and 7f-8.4f winner Monte Linas. Dam 7f-8.3f winner. Showed only greenness starting out over C&D 3 weeks ago.

Too green to show much both starts.
