Napoleons Casino And Restaurant Leeds Restricted Novice Stakes (Horses In Bands B/C/D) (GBB Race)

Fared best of the newcomers when promising third at Redcar (6f, good) last October; far too soon to write him off but he was disappointing at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) nine days ago, even allowing for a wide trip.

Good second on debut at Ayr (6f, good) last June; two lesser runs followed last year but he's from a useful sprinting family and is a leading contender if back to his best in a first-time hood, following a break.

Weak in the betting but still ran well when runner-up at 13-2 on debut at Chelmsford (6f, AW) three weeks ago; his dam was a useful 6f winner and he could have plenty more to offer; firmly in calculations.

10,000gns foal whose unraced dam is from a speedy family; improvement is possible on this second start but he was soundly beaten at 16-1 at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) on his recent debut and needs a big step forward.

Runner-up on debut at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last March then failed to build on it when fourth at Southwell (7f, AW); however, he's in top hands and his pedigree suggests the drop in trip will suit; wears first-time blinkers and he remains one to be interested in.
