Natural Innovations Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Signs of ability in two runs at Newcastle this spring (1m/7f); likely to find life easier once handicapping.

Finished third of eight, beaten 3l, when the well-backed favourite for a 6.5f maiden at Newbury last October (soft; winner has since finished fourth in the Greenham); could see his race out more strongly on the sounder surface; big player.

Fetched 55,000gns as a foal and 45,000gns as a yearling but went through the ring for just 1,000gns last October; second foal; half-brother to Canadian 7f AW winner Vrana; dam French Listed-placed 6.5f 2yo winner (RPR 90); likely best watched on debut.

Free-going sort; has shown a fair level of ability in his four starts and has the strongest form on offer; could do with settling better though and appears vulnerable to anything progressive.

240,000gns yearling; second foal of an 8.6f/1m3f winner (including US; RPR 98), herself a half-sister to winners Gifts Of Gold (smart 1m1f-1m7f) and Dusky Queen (7f Listed); appealing pedigree and no surprise to see him play a part on debut.
