Matchbook Betting Exchange Supporting UK Racing Maiden Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)

Didn't set the world alight in bumpers/hurdles for Dylan Cunha. Steps up in trip having offered little in pair of 7f novices. Type to do better when switched to a handicap by excellent yard.

Showed more than first time up when well-held fourth over C&D on stable debut/reappearance (had been gelded in the interim). Will have more chance in handicaps.

Distant fifth on debut in Newbury maiden won by Bow Echo last August. Showed more when beaten under 4½ lengths at Southwell (1m) the following month. Plenty of middle-distance influence in his pedigree, however, he may need the run on return.

Runner-up 5 of his 7 starts for George Boughey. Ran right up to his best in first-time blinkers when 2½ lengths third in a strong Glorious Goodwood handicap last time. The clear form pick, but he does have a very intriguing newcomer to contend with.

4,400,000 gns yearling, Frankel filly. Dam, winner up to 1m (Group 2 Duke of Cambridge Stakes and 2-y-o 7f winner), closely related to smart 1¼m/11f winner (stayed 1¾m) Gamrai. World's most expensive yearling in 2024. Has to be afforded plenty of respect on racecourse bow for powerful connections.

Showed only greenness on debut at Nottingham (40/1) last month. Likely to need more time.
