JW 4x4 Northallerton Irish EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Showed a bit when 9½ lengths third of 6 on debut at Catterick (7f). Entitled to do better without troubling the form principals.

€62,000 Palace Pier colt. Finished with running left after being denied a clear run on debut at Newcastle (22/1, 6f), beaten just over 4 lengths. Entitled to leave that bare form behind switched to turf/7f, though has a couple from powerful yards to contend with here.

€180,000 Wootton Bassett colt. Wasn't knocked about when 2 lengths second of 7 over an inadequate trip on debut at Newmarket (6f). Expected to run a big race over the extra furlong (yard 4-7 with novice/maiden runners here in last 5 years).

Foaled February 11. 95,000 gns yearling, Too Darn Hot colt. Closely related to useful 7f winner Nakeeb. Dam useful French 1m/9f winner. Makes appeal on pedigree and market usually reveals if stable fancy one first time up.

Foaled January 30. €37,000 yearling, Coulsty filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Irrelevant. Dam, maiden, closely related to smart winner up to 9f Jack Naylor out of useful 1m-1¼m winner (stayed 1½m) Fashionable. Probably out of her depth in this company.
