Unibet/EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (For Horses In Bands B, C And D) (GBB Race) (Div II)

50,000euros yearling; half-brother to some smart winners but was 40-1 here (1m, AW) last month and he dropped out before finishing tenth of 12; can only be watched after that low-key start.

Finished sixth of nine in two slow-ground events on turf (1m) this autumn; has plenty to find on the figures and will be more interesting when handicapping over further.

St Mark's Basilica half-brother to four winners notably Limato (6f/7f including 2yo/Group 1); made his debut in tough conditions at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) in October but he didn't show anything at a big price and is probably one for later on.

Well held in both runs this autumn but he made some late headway when fourth of 12 over C&D last month; that was promising at a big price and he could get involved if he can take another step forward.

32,000gns yearling, 75,000euros 2yo breeze-ups; fifth foal; half-brother to winners Maktoob (7f-9.4f including AW/Australian Listed) and Mantoog (1m2f; RPR 95); dam unraced sister to 7f Group 3 winner Talayeb, half-sister to UAE 1m Group 3 winner Muntazah, from family of Nashwan; plenty to like on paper and he needs checking in market on debut
