Nottingham Race 5 - Joy Silvester Barbering Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
IN THE CITY (1) has recorded consecutive placed efforts. Holds leading claims in view of a creditable 1.75L third over 1000m at Bath most recently. STAR OF MALI (2) is a three-year-old colt who lines up for the first time. Regally-bred being by Sands Of Mali from Runaway Sparkle. Profiles well and warrants serious consideration. ZIGGY'S TRITON (3) is a four-start maiden but is capable of recording first victory on the back of an eighth most recently attempting 1000m at Newcastle AW. Not dismissed switched to turf. PRINCESS VIVI (4) makes the shortlist due to a scarcity of opponents.

Three-year-old colt by Sands Of Mali out of Runaway Sparkle having his first start. Should kick off on the right note.

At the latest run 8th of 11 at Newcastle All Weather on June 26 over 1000m, 5 len behind I'm Next with 60kg at $8. The start before that sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 10 at Catterick on June 10 over 1000m, head behind Right And Exact carrying 59kg at $6. Needs to do more to break through.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, second last of 10 at Wolverhampton on May 19 over 1020m, 11 len behind Marty Hopkirk carrying 58kg at $101. Second-up 8th of 10 at Catterick on June 10 over 1000m, 11 len behind Right And Exact with 56.5kg at $251. Nicely placed to get off the mark this time.
