Eric Hussain 58th Birthday Celebration Race Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Clearly hasn't been the easiest to train since nearly landing a gamble (splitting some useful types) on debut at Newmarket in November 2024. Easy to back when 1¼-length third on comeback at Wolverhampton. Since gelded by top yard and remains with potential following further 5 months away.

Starman gelding. Dam maiden half-sister to smart 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Van Der Decken. Newcomer is worth noting for support in a race where the principals have a little to prove.

Showed nothing on debut (80/1) at Redcar (1m, good).

70,000 gns yearling, 11,000 gns 2-y-o, Invincible Spirit gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o winner up to 7f Politico. Dam 6f winner (including at 2 yrs). Sales price went the wrong way and yard isn't a regular source of debut winners.

Offered something to work on at big odds when 5¾ lengths third of 7 on debut at Kempton (7f). That form is still some way off the market principals, though.

Expensive son of Havana Grey. Another who perhaps hasn't been the easiest to train. Improved on the figures despite failing to land the odds in first-time tongue strap (1/5) at Lingfield in May. Since undergone a breathing operation and has been found another good opportunity.
