Thirsk Race 2 - Racing Tv Club Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race) (Div 1)
FIRST PRINCIPLE (3) was a good 1.25L winner on debut last December at Kempton Park AW. Form from that race has taken a boost and can offer improvement making seasonal reappearance. Leading contender. SUMMER HEAT (10) represents notable connections. Finished runner-up on latest outing at Wolverhampton. Wears first-time cheekpieces. Can go one better. DIVINE KNIGHT (1) is the pick of the debutants. Bred by Night of Thunder out of Diantha. Worth considering. OFF SPIN (5) rounds out the shortlist providing first start this year.
