TrustATrader Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Beaten 16l on the July course (1m, good) and then about 12l at Pontefract (1m2f, soft); one for another day.

Half-brother to a 1m4f winner in France and he improved for the step up to 1m2f when narrowly off the mark on good to soft at Doncaster; might not be overly inconvenienced by this drop in trip, but that latest form hasn't worked out particularly well and he carries a penalty.

Beat only one home here in October (7f, soft; 5-1) but he's a well-bred son of Dubawi who should be capable of much better and he encounters different ground this time.

15,000euros foal, 6,000gns yearling; third foal; dam unplaced 7f-1m6f (RPR 46), half-sister to Listed-placed winners Arm Candy (7f/1m) and Mutajarred (1m-1m2f); opposable first time out in a race of this nature.

Kingman colt out of Irish Oaks winner Great Heavens; only 9-2 at Kempton (1m) and after getting a little outpaced he saw his race out well to finish fourth of 13; looks a surefire improver at three; yard runs two so the market could be informative.
