British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Hasn't beaten a rival in either start to date.

Foaled February 19. Dubawi colt. Brother to useful 1m winner Blue Nazare. Dam, 6f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to smart winner up to 12.3f Hidden Law, out of smart winner up to 11.5f (2-y-o 1m winner) Secret Gesture. Very interesting newcomer whose dam was successful on debut.

Appealing sort on paper but he's looked a slow burner in a couple of 7f events thus far. Probably needs more time.

€550,000 yearling. Sea The Stars colt. Dam, 1½m winner, sister to useful 1m winner Crystal Caprice out of smart winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 7f winner who probably stayed 1½m) Crystal Zvezda. Cost a pretty penny but will probably come into his own over further.

Palace Pier colt hinted at ability when beaten just over 10 lengths on debut at Lingfield (7f, all-weather). Needs a significant step forward to repeat his trainer's success in this corresponding race 12 months ago.

Foaled April 16. $30,000 foal, €150,000 yearling, Starspangledbanner gelding. Dam, 9.4f winner, half-sister to very smart 1¼m-12.5f winner Shareta out of useful 1m winner Shawara. Has a pedigree of contrasts and market usually a good guide for stable's debutants.

Foaled February 26. €12,000 yearling, 200,000 gns 2-y-o, Ten Sovereigns colt. Half-brother to useful 1¼m-1½m winner Uae Prince and 1m winner Any Dream Will. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to winner up to 1¼m Midas Touch (also St Leger/Irish Derby runner-up). Quality type who needs a market check.

Has made a promising start to his career. Again shaped well when close third behind a Charlie Appleby newcomer in valuable C&D novice second time up. Sets a clear standard of those with experience and will continue to progress.

Sent off at 50/1 and was very green when 8½ lengths fourth on debut at Lingfield (7f, all-weather). Likely to be one of the stable's longer-term projects.
