EBF Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Lone Warrior^t1¹⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott| OR: 82

13/8

Showed promise in 2 starts for Andrew Balding last year. After 11 months off ahead of stable debut, again ran to a fairly useful level when second in 12-runner maiden at Southwell in May, form boosted since. Major player with tongue strap added.

Form: 45-2

Trustintimes¹⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Saffie Osborne| T: H Fry

9/1

Bred for the Flat and landed a bumper in spring last year before winning his first 3 starts over hurdles. Good second in handicap at Kempton's Christmas meeting and possibly needed the run after 3 months off when down the field at Aintree (2½m) in April. Off 6 months ahead of Flat debut.

Adamlyi¹⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 79| BF

3/1

Improved from his debut effort when runner-up in a Yarmouth maiden on return in April, the winner franking the form since. Perhaps wasn't 100% when fifth of 11 in novice over this C&D next outing, but he's in good hands to bounce back given time since (has been gelded).

Form: 5-25

(6)

Eagleonthebalcony^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie

40/1

Gleneagles gelding. Closely related to winner abroad by The Gurkha. Dam 1m winner out of smart 1m-1½m performer Front House. Wears hood and may just be one for further down the line.

(9)

Eagles Instinct³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie

50/1

Hinted at ability on debut but wasn't able to build on that effort when seventh of 9 in maiden at Redcar 5 weeks ago (gelded since). Looks one for the longer term.

Form: 57

(1)

Emerald Spirit¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jonny Peate| T: D M Loughnane

50/1

Ran to a modest level in a pair of maidens last month, never better than mid-division when eighth of 13 at Southwell (11f) 18 days ago. Has plenty to find back down in trip.

Form: 78

(8)

Ensor Mews¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett

4/1

After 10 months from debut, left that form behind when staying on for third in 10-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (7f) 15 days ago. Merits consideration with further improvement to come as he goes back up in trip.

Form: 5-3

(11)

Intsaar¹⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S D Bowen| T: R Varian

18/1

€300,000 yearling but made no impression first time up when tenth of 12 in maiden at Southwell in May. Represents last year's winning yard as he returns from 5 months off (has been gelded).

Form: 0

(3)

Journalism³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: H Al Jehani

25/1

270,000 gns yearling but was held back by inexperience when fourth of 5 in novice at Windsor on debut a month ago. Will need to have learned plenty from that first outing.

Form: 4

(7)

Medaali^t1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S & E Crisford

5/1

Ghaiyyath gelding. Closely related to 7f winner Almizan. Dam once-raced half-sister to very smart 1m-1¼m (Pretty Polly Stakes) winner Nezwaah and smart 1¼m-1¾m winner Infraad. Could go well for much-respected yard on debut. Wears tongue strap.

(5)

Mile End Road⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: James Owen

18/1

Bred to be smart, but ran green making his belated debut when fifth of 9 in maiden at Kempton (7f) in August. This run should reveal more.

Form: 5

(14)

Nascondino⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Alec Voikhansky| T: D & C Kubler

40/1

Didn't manage to find much progress from his first start when fourth of 10 in novice at Kempton 5 days ago. Will be of more appeal in handicaps.

Form: 74

(13)

Ovage²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Kieren Fox| T: Charlie Pike

80/1

Shaped a bit better than the result, though was ultimately well beaten when eighth of 10 in novice at Newmarket (1¼m) on debut 25 days ago. Could be more of a type for later on.

Form: 8

(10)

Certainty³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Joe Leavy| T: Mrs I G-Leveque

80/1

Well held on debut when trained by Chris Dwyer and, after 12 months off, fared little better for this yard when remote third of 5 in novice at Windsor in September.

Form: 0-3

Forecasts

Adamlyi (15/8), Lone Warrior (9/4), Ensor Mews (11/2), Medaali (8/1), Trustintimes (12/1), Mile End Road (16/1), Intsaar (16/1), Nascondino (25/1), Eagleonthebalcony (25/1), Journalism (33/1), Certainty (50/1), Eagles Instinct (50/1), Emerald Spirit (66/1), Ovage (100/1)

Making his seasonal/stable debut, LONE WARRIOR was beaten only by a now-useful type at Southwell in May and he could still have more to offer after only the 3 career starts. The 4-y-o is taken to get the better of Ensor Mews, who shaped well on his recent return, while Adamlyi is worth another chance after a break.
