Pyledriver British EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race) (Div I)

30,000euros yearling; seventh foal; half-brother to four winners including Buthela (French Group-placed 1m; RPR 113), Toyotomi (French 5.5f-8.5f including Listed; 108) and Deemster (French 7f AW 2yo/1m turf Listed; 102); dam 6.5f-7.5f AW winner (including 2yo/Listed; 103); makes appeal on paper.

Out of a well-connected 7f AW winner; last of 15 on debut at Leicester (5f) in April and absent since; gelded in June; can only be watched.

Runner-up on both turf starts this summer (6f/7f) and probably ran to similar level when fourth of 11 on Polytrack (7f) last month; may not be entirely straightforward but ought to be right in the thick of things again.

First foal from 1m2f AW Group 3 winner; unable to justify prominence in market when only ninth of ten at Sandown (7f, soft) in August but could quite plausibly be seen to much better effect on the faster ground here.

First foal; dam multiple 8.6f AW winner (RPR 98), half-sister to winners Flash Gordon (useful 6f) and Sunset Dream (7f/1m); has pretty good standard to reach on debut; market helpful.
