Pontefract Race 2 - Download The Raceday Ready App Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
KIND TOUCH (1) debuted with a win scoring by a nose a 1000m maiden at Ripon. Promising chance. QILA (6) ran with credit on debut ten days back when 4L fifth contesting a 1000m novice race at Newcastle AW. Progress expected. MASTER OF SHANGHAI (4) profiles well on paper representing the John and Sean Quinn stable. This colt by Hello Youmzain from Darjana rates an interesting newcomer. STARMADE (8) warrants a second look.

Getting off the mark on debut; won by a nose at Ripon August 26 over 1000m defeating Schrodinger's Cat with 60.5kg at $15. Promising type who will be hard to hold out again.

Jumped at long odds at debut, 7th of 9 at York on September 7 over 1400m, 11 len behind Proud Nation carrying 60.5kg at $41. Can improve sharply.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at Musselburgh on August 1 over 1400m, 5 len behind Blooming Legend with 60.5kg at $8.50. Last start ran last of 9 at Ayr on August 9 over 1200m, 17 len behind Bye Law with 60.5kg at $7. Look elsewhere.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 8 at Beverley on July 21 over 1000m, on a slow track; 15 len behind Temple Of Athena carrying 60.5kg at $5. Second-up 5th of 8 at Ripon on August 26 over 1000m, 8 len behind Kind Touch carrying 60.5kg at $13. Others appeal more.

Was at a huge quote at debut, 7th of 12 at Windsor on July 26 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Q T Pie carrying 57kg at $81. Can do better. Has upside and may pay to follow up.
