EBF 'Confined' Restricted Novice Stakes (Bands B, C & D) (Run Three Times Or Fewer) (GBB Race)

Showed plenty of speed, helping to set the pace, at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) and Yarmouth (5f, good) on first two starts; disappointing at Windsor (5f, good to firm) latest but he's the one to beat judged on the Yarmouth second.

22-1, slowly away when no show in Sandown maiden (5f, soft) four weeks ago.

Modest form at Brighton (5.2f, good) and Wolverhampton (6f, AW; better effort); needs to build on that but has place claims at least.

By Expert Eye; fourth foal; half-brother to winners Major Blue (5f turf/6f AW; RPR 76) and Blue Cable (6f AW; 62); dam unplaced at 5f/6f on AW as 2yo (37), closely related to 5f Listed winner Speed Cop, out of disqualified Nunthorpe winner Blue Siren; from a strong yard and needs a check for market strength, in what's surely not a strong race.

First foal from a Listed-placed 5f-7f winner; similar form when beaten just over 4l at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) and Lingfield (5f, AW) 12 days later; absent eight weeks this time and could be a player for a yard that's in good form, including with its 2yos.
