British Stallion Studs EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

2YO only | Class 2 | 7f 1y | 8 Runners | Turf

(1)

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Grace McEntee| T: G Boughey

Foaled April 22. €80,000 yearling, No Nay Never colt. Dam, 7f/1m winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to 1m-1¼m winner Aquila Reale. Noteworthy newcomer representing very good stable and market confidence behind him would look significant operating from plum draw.

National Pride³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| BF

Naval Crown colt who has a rather mixed pedigree and he showed benefit of his Ascot debut experience when finishing second of 6 in a Catterick novice (7f, firm) 39 days ago, keeping on without ever getting to the winner. In leading hands and he appeals as the type to progress further.

Form: 62

Hiram Bingham¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: M L W Bell

Study Of Man colt who has finished nearer last than first in pair of all-weather novice events at up to 7f in recent months.

Form: 09

(8)

Night Star⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR: 82| BF

Space Traveller colt who has shaped well on all 4 starts to date, posting just about his best effort yet when finding only a promising newcomer too strong in 7-runner novice at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) 9 days ago. Big shout again back at 7f for all he's drawn wider than ideal.

Form: 5332

Regency Royal⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding

Shaped very well from a poor position when staying on strongly for second over 6f here on debut in July. Took a backward step when well held in a class 2 maiden at Goodwood (7f) 6 weeks ago but it remains the case this trip should suit and it would be no surprise to see him get back on track.

Form: 20

(6)

Dark Detective²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Russell| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

Cracksman gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Ange de L'amour and 5f/6f winner Colocolo. 33/1, didn't shape with immediate promise when eighth of 12 in a Wolverhampton novice (7f) 25 days ago.

Form: 8

(7)

Poppular

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

Foaled April 23. Baaeed gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 7f-1¼m winner City of Poets and 5f winner Popular Dream. The stable's newcomers are usually best watched.

(2)

Tidal Force⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: O J Orr| T: H Palmer

Boasts a speedy pedigree and possesses size but he proved easy to back and looked a longer-term project when last of 9 in a Haydock novice (1m) on debut 9 days ago.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Night Star (6/5), National Pride (3/1), Regency Royal (4/1), Green Star (11/2), Dark Detective (25/1), Poppular (25/1), Tidal Force (50/1), Hiram Bingham (50/1)

NIGHT STAR has a less-than-ideal draw to navigate, yet he's shown more than enough to think a race of this nature is within his grasp and is selected to get off the mark turned out quickly. National Pride showed the benefit of his debut experience when second at Catterick and appeals as the chief danger with the prospect of more to come. Regency Royal is also a player judged on his promising debut effort over 6f here in July.
