British EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (Bands C And D) (EBF Restricted Qual') (GBB/IRE Incentive Race)

Raced freely and made underwhelming debut when fifth of six at Wetherby (5.5f) last month but was much better when second of 11 at Chepstow (6f, also good to firm) nine days ago; latter form is yet to be tested but he's likely capable of further improvement.

6,000euros yearling; fourth foal; by Invincible Army and closely related to winners Midnight Fire (6f/7f; RPR 81) and Law Degree (7.4f/1m 2yo; 70); unraced dam closely related to 6f winners Furbelow (dam of 6f/6.5f Group 1 winner Advertise) and Adorn (dam of 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Saayerr); probably best watched on debut.

Both starts on good ground at Beverley over 5f; made a winning debut in April and built on that when a respectable fourth in the Two Year Old Trophy in May; kept on that day, suggesting this step up to 6f should suit; respected under the penalty.

Already gelded; 30,000euros foal, 22,000euros yearling; second foal; Dark Angel half-brother to Polish 1m winner Selena Gold; dam well beaten 1m2f (RPR 45), sister to winners Luis Fernandez (6f including 2yo) and Time Constraints (1m), half-sister to 5f Group 1 Abbaye winner Benbaun; market to guide on this debut.

£25,000 yearling and brother to two winning sprinters; not beaten far on debut over 5f at Carlisle (good to soft; first three have all won since) at the end of May and can improve for this longer trip with the benefit of that experience; might be the answer.
