BNI Elli Maiden Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)

Fairly useful maiden. Well placed the way things unfolded when runner-up in Class 2 handicap at Ascot last month. Wasn't disgraced when beaten just over 4 lengths in a Shergar Cup event there last time, keenness again compromising his finishing effort. Must have serious claims back in a maiden.

€100,000 purchase. Attracted support at long odds/achieved more than on debut when down the field in a Goodwood maiden (1¾m) in June. Subsequently gelded and this drop back in trip suggests he could be a handicap project (dam and half-brother both won over further).

€340,000 Teofilo gelding. Showed plenty to work on when fourth in a Windsor novice (1¼m 50/1) on debut. Much tighter in the betting when seemingly stretched by the longer trip at Goodwood (1¾m) subsequently. Could be worth another chance if market vibes are positive returning from 10-week break.

Third in a strong Tipperary maiden (9f) this time last year. Back with shrewd Emmet Mullins yard (tongue strap added) following her third in a listed hurdle at Auteuil on final start for M. Seror in late-May. Interesting returning to the Flat over a longer trip, especially if the money is down.

Shaped with plenty of promise when close third in a 1¼m Lingfield maiden on debut in late-April. Again offered something to work with when 3½ lengths fourth on return over same C&D last time. Bumps into a couple with stronger form, though is likely to improve for the step up in trip on turf debut.

Masar filly. Closely related to useful 13.3f-16.2f winner Mobbhij and half-sister to several winners, including very smart 1m-10.4f winner Sajjhaa. Dam 10.6f winner on debut. Stable 0-7 with newcomers at this track. This one has plenty to recommend her on paper, though, and needs a market check.
