Ayrshire Cancer Support EBF Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

75,000euros yearling; St Mark's Basilica half-brother to six winners, notably Unicorn Lion (Japanese 1m1f/1m2f including Grade 3; RPR 122) and The Wow Signal (6f 2yo including Group 1; 116); interesting newcomer.

Looks a winner waiting to happen, having finished a solid second in sprint races at Nottingham (behind the subsequent Norfolk fourth) and Chester (ran well despite losing both hind shoes); commands respect.

Both starts at Newbury, better effort when third over 6.5f last time; however, gives the impression he'll be ideally suited by 7f+ which means this drop back to a bare 6f is a negative.

42,000gns foal; by Dark Angel and first foal of maiden (RPR 72) sister to 5f-7f scorer Motawaazy (for this yard); 25-1 at the time of withdrawal at Ayr (upset in stalls) last month on intended debut.

Gelded son of Bungle Inthejungle; hung left but showed clear promise with his second of eight, faring best of the newcomers, in 6f maiden at York; holds major claims, especially if keeping straighter.
