Juddmonte EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Won a novice here on debut by the narrowest margin, a promising first effort despite greenness and drifting on the undulations; handles soft ground and should take another step forward, making him the one to beat.

Stepped up on his debut effort to land a novice at Chester by three lengths last time, showing clear progression on good to soft; effective over today's trip, he takes on this under a penalty, which asks more of him.

Narrow runner-up in a novice here last time, with his form reading well at a higher level; his dam was effective at a mile and beyond, hinting the trip may suit him better still, and the yard has a strong record at this track.

Beaten a long way in a novice at Newbury on his only start, he has plenty to do to get involved here; his breeding suggests 6-7f will be his optimum range, but he needs to show considerably more.

Beaten a long way on debut at Wolverhampton, never getting into contention having been unsettled early; speedily bred but yet to show ability to match that pedigree, and has plenty to find against this field.
