Golf And Gallop Novice Stakes (GBB Race) (Div II)

1-1 in bumpers but 0-6 over hurdles and well held in two starts on turf (1m3f/1m4f) last month; plenty to find on AW debut; hood (worn once over hurdles) returns.

Narrowly made a winning debut here (7f) last November, but only fifth of nine on his return under a penalty in a Wolverhampton novice (8.6f, Tapeta) in March; a player if rediscovering his debut form; stable 20-74 (27%) here in past five seasons.

Both starts over 6f at Goodwood last year, stepping up from her debut in May when successful there the following month (race has produced winners); year absence since then is a concern, but she is a half-sister to an AW winner and she should appreciate the longer trip on breeding; respected, especially if market positive.

12-1 when finishing in midfield on his Kempton debut (7f, Polytrack) last October; improvement needed, but is possible with the extra furlong likely to suit.

58,000gns yearling; closely related to four winners including Sarrocchi (7f 2yo/1m Listed; RPR 98) and Bondi Sands (10.5f/1m4f; 82), half-brother to two winners including Talbeyah (8.5f-1m2f including AW/Canada; 99); dam French/US 7.5f/1m winner (including Listed; 103); something to like on breeding and market support would be interesting.
