Betway EBF "Confined" Novice Stakes (For horses Which Have Run No More Than Once) (GBB/GBBPlus Race)

By Wootton Bassett out of a Galileo mare; 10-11 for maiden at the Curragh (7f, good) last June and always prominent to win that ten-runner race by half a length in a five-way scrap, but he has not raced since; stablemate in second was useful afterwards but the third showed no better than fair form; a promising Dante and Derby entry, for whom the market may guide.

240,000euros yearling; by Sea The Moon out of a close relation to 1m2f Group 1 winner Sultanina; second favourite for seven-runner maiden at Haydock (7f, good) last July, which he nearly blew when making an awkward start and first off the bridle but he came from the back and stuck his neck out well for a narrow win; absent since but should be open to major improvement.

325,000gns yearling by Teofilo; ninth foal; brother to four winners including Group winners Guaranteed (RPR 109) and Gear Up (114); 13-8 favourite for novice at Lingfield (1m, AW) in December and came from fifth of 12 at halfway to win by 3l, despite looking green; Dante and Derby entry from a top yard, who'll surely stay and find plenty of improvement this term.

By Dubawi; third foal; half-brother to winners Cavallo Bay (Group-placed 7f 2yo; RPR 101) and Spring Beauty (French 5.5f); dam 6f/1m 2yo winner (including Canadian turf Grade 1; 106); 5-6 for five-runner maiden at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in December, leading 2f out for a 6l win; that came with great authority, so this Dante and Derby entry looks a good prospect.

180,000gns yearling by Galiway; fifth foal; closely related to 1m1f-1m2f winner Integrant (including AW Listed; RPR 108), half-brother to French 9.5f winner Viatore; dam Group-placed 7f/1m 2yo winner (103), half-sister to Group 3 winners at 7f and 1m; trainer won this last year with another Dante (and Derby) entry and this debutant needs a close look.
