Juddmonte EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

2YO only | Class 2 | 6f | 7 Runners | Turf

(7)

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| D

Sent off at 11/10 and looked potentially useful when a ready winner on his 6f Ripon debut (good to firm) 39 days ago. Entered in a Group 2 at Newbury later this month. Looks up to defying a penalty.

Form: 1

Soldier Of The Sea⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: Taylor Fisher| T: W J Knight| OR: 86| BF| D

€100,000 breeze-up purchase who made a successful start to his career when getting up late at Ffos Las (6f, good to firm) in June. Still a bit green when unable to give weight to a promising newcomer at Salisbury 3 weeks later. Might prove vulnerable under a penalty in this field.

Form: 12

Does Mary Know²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Dark Angel colt built on debut promise with second of 5 to the useful Rogue Jewel in novice at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago, no match for winner but drawing clear of rest. More to come. Engaged 3.52 Haydock Thursday.

Form: 62

(2)

Nobelos¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: C Hills

12/1, well-held fourth of 11 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 18 days ago, not knocked about. Should improve for the experience but big step up needed to get heavily involved.

Form: 4

(1)

War Chest^h1

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Foaled April 30. 5,500 gns foal. Saxon Warrior half-brother to several winners, including useful 9f/9.4f winner Some Skye and 1m winner Vasco Da Gama. Wears hood on debut. Does Mary Know would have to be considered the stable first string unless the betting suggests otherwise.

(5)

Storm Force Ten¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne

Twice-raced maiden. Left debut well behind when third of 12 in novice (80/1) at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Should progress again.

Form: 03

(4)

Brushstroke²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Ray Dawson| T: T Kent

Promising start to his career when length second of 11 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, all-weather) 22 days ago, running on. May well do better.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Pure Mint (15/8), Soldier Of The Sea (11/4), Does Mary Know (7/2), Nobelos (15/2), Brushstroke (8/1), Storm Force Ten (16/1), War Chest (33/1)

PURE MINT powered clear to justify market support on his Ripon debut and this seemingly well-regarded colt (Group 2 entered) is taken to make light of his penalty, perhaps at the expense of Lingfield runner-up Brushstroke. Does Mary Know would also enter calculations if showing up here rather than at Haydock on Thursday.
