Sporting Life Sri Lanka Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Showed fair enough on his debut at Nottingham, fading close home to finish three lengths off; a sprint pedigree suggests he will handle the distance, and a sound surface suits his action — there should be more to come.

Nothing of note in two starts to date, with his Nottingham run particularly uninspiring; hard to fancy until he produces some evidence of ability, and he faces well-regarded rivals today.

Progressed between his first two starts, finishing two lengths off in third in a novice at Nottingham second time out; effective at five furlongs on a sound surface and with a touch more to offer, he looks a credible danger.

Ten Sovereigns gelding with a connection to Group-level black-type on the dam's side; making his debut here and likely to benefit from the run before showing his best.

Showed greenness on debut at Nottingham but closed steadily in the final stages to finish two lengths off in fourth; with a balanced pedigree offering both pace and stamina, he looks a well-regarded type who should improve with this experience behind him.
