racingtv.com Restricted Novice Stakes (Bands B, C And D) (GBB Race)

Useful sprinting pedigree but he's gone off at triple-figure prices for both 6f starts and been beaten about 10l each time; drops to 5f with plenty to find and will be bearing down on ordinary handicaps soon.

Big prices and always behind in two 6f novices at Thirsk; modest handicaps will offer more scope in due course.

Can lead; beaten favourite on last three outings but he's run to a useful level in all his 5f starts on good and good to firm ground (in cheekpieces latest, retained) and has strong form claims again today.

Minor promise when fifth of nine on Lingfield debut (5f) in June and at 14-1 he wasn't one of the outsiders for a valuable sales race at Newmarket (6f) last month, never near the leaders but still looked to have some potential; may well fare a lot better in an easier race.

Out of a speedy mare and this one showed some dash himself before fading on his 6f debut here (20-1) last month; should come on for the run and may well find 5f suits better; can do better.
