Thoroughbred Daily News EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Kingman colt who cost 800,000gns as a yearling and holds a Middle Park entry; ready success from the front at Haydock (6f, good) built on his debut effort; useful prospect who looks capable of defying a penalty.

68,000gns yearling; Footstepsinthesand half-brother to three winners, notably Maria Branwell (5f 2yo including Listed; RPR 99); one of two newcomers in the field; market instructive.

Stablemate of leading contender Division; recorded a meagre RPR with midfield finish at Windsor (6f, good) but looked green and may improve with the experience under his belt.

Absent and gelded since running below market expectations at Salisbury (race won by smart rival) in June; one of the main form contenders all the same and may yet build on his Windsor promise (third over 6f).

Mehmas colt who seemed a non-stayer in 7f AW maiden at Kempton, swallowed up in the final 1f having made a lot of the running; interesting with improvement on the cards dropped in distance.
