Bet With The On-Course Bookmakers Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Slow-starting fourth of five at Pontefract (5f, soft) last May; 28-1, faded to a 14l defeat at Thirsk (7f, good) when next seen 15 days ago; no form claims.

18,000gns foal; seventh foal; Massaat half-brother to four winners including Charlie D (1m4f-2m1f; RPR 97), Vitani (US 7f dirt) and Apollo Rebellion (Japanese 8.5f); dam unraced half-sister to smart 2m5f hurdle winner Windsor Park; on his debut, others seem more likely.

Three races, easily best of them when second at Haydock (1m, good) last July; final start was on heavy ground; has changed hands and left Harry Charlton; good chance if reverting to that best effort.

16-1 and hooded, looked green when 4l fourth of eight in maiden at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in March but that did show significant ability in this context and he should improve.

17-2, slowly into stride and green when never dangerous in Kempton maiden (1m, AW) three weeks ago, with plenty of pushing required to get him into sixth of 14; classy pedigree, though, and he could be a big improver.
