Clive Cox Racing EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race) (Div 1)

7/1, lost all chance at the start when always behind in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 17 days ago.

Foaled March 6. 45,000 gns Without Parole colt. Dam third at 7f from 2 starts out of unraced half-sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner Expresso Star. The same connections won this with the smart Zavateri last year. Would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in his favour.

Fourth on Lingfield debut (all-weather) but went backwards from that when last of 8 on turf at Yarmouth since.

£48,000 Brother to 5f/6f winner Time Douglas and winner up to 8.4f Absolute Beginners (2-y-o 5.5f winner) and half-brother to 5.7f-7f winner Macs Dilemma. Dam 5f winner. His yard has won this race a few times in recent years. Would enter calculations if the betting speak in his favour.

Foaled February 10. 55,000 gns New Bay colt. Dam, runner-up at 7f in France, half-sister to very smart 7f/1m winner Al Wukair. Noteworthy newcomer.

10/3, eleventh of 12 in maiden at Chepstow (6f, good) on debut 19 days ago but the fact he was prominent in the betting suggests better was anticipated.

Foaled April 21. 32,000 gns breeze-up by New Bay. Dam 7f/1m winner (including at 2 yrs).

11/1, very green but made some late headway when seventh of 12 in maiden (11/1) at Chepstow (6f, good) on debut 19 days ago. May do better.

Foaled February 11. 17,000 gns Cotai Glory colt. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Leovanni. Best watched unless the betting speaks in his favour.

Foaled January 26. €11,000 Inns of Court gelding. Half-brother to winner abroad by Kodiac. Dam maiden (stayed 11.5f). The betting should help guide to expectations.

18/1, last of 12 in novice at Ascot (5f, good to firm) on debut 32 days ago.
