Skytree Novice Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)

Promising type. Hooded, fourth of 8 in novice at Kempton (1m, 22/1) on debut 16 days ago. Open to progress.

25/1, last of 7 in maiden at Newbury (1m, good to firm) on debut 28 days ago.

Foaled May 4. €100,000 Lope De Vega colt. Dam, 2-y-o 1m winner, half-sister to smart 11f-14.4f winner La Mehana. Newcomer from a respected stable.

16/1, tenth of 12 in novice at Newbury (7f, firm) on debut 56 days ago. In top hands but possibly more one for the longer term on that evidence.

14/1, showed ability when fifth of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 23 days ago. Ought to improve for the experience and the longer trip should suit.

Foaled April 3. 100,000 gns Churchill colt. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 10.4f-1½m winner (stayed 2m) Fact Or Folklore out of 2-y-o 6f-7.5f winner Iuturna. One of 2 newcomers for Ralph Beckett and it'll be interesting to see how they compare in the betting.

10/1, fourth of 9 in maiden at Sandown (7f, good) on debut 50 days ago, nearest finish. Should improve.

Foaled May 8. Dubawi brother to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Daneh and half-brother to useful 2-y-o 1m winner Latest Generation and 1¼m winner Muhaajim. This well-bred sort would very much enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in his favour.

Foaled May 10. €40,000 Sea The Moon colt. Half-brother to French 9f-10.4f winner Senechale. One of 2 debutants from the powerful Ralph Beckett yard and the betting should help to separate them.

Green an no match for a good prospect when second of 3 in 1m novice at Newmarket (good) but he showed promise and seems sure to improve for the experience. Gets the vote.

Foaled February 17. £35,000 Sergei Prokofiev filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 1½m-2m winner Marbuzet and 7f winner Kameel. Dam maiden (stayed 1¼m). The betting should help guide to expectations with this one.
