Thirsk Race 3 - Racing Tv Club Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race) (Div 2)
FOREST CAPER (2) improved from a debut third at Haydock Park to finish 1.25L runner-up at Beverley 15 days ago. Can go one better. GENTLE TOUCH (7) represents notable connections. Improved from a debut ninth to place second at Wetherby making seasonal reappearance. Thereabouts. WOLFPACK (6) placed second on debut at Southwell AW. Downfield first outing this year when eighth at Doncaster. Might bounce back. SAXON LOVER (4) is the pick of the debutants. Bred by Saxon Warrior out of Peace Royale and half-brother to German G3 winner Peace In Motion. Worth considering.

Second-up. First start 6th of 10 at Kempton Park All Weather on August 28 over 1400m, 5 len behind Upscale with 59kg at $29. Returned from break eased back early on 9th of 16 at Doncaster on June 7 over 1400m, 14 len behind Remmooz with 63.5kg at $41. Fitter but looks a forlorn hope.

Raced twice to date. At very long odds at debut, 3rd of 7 at Haydock Park on May 30 over 1600m, 6 len behind Love Beach carrying 64.5kg at $101. Last start rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 10 at Beverley on June 17 over 1500m, 1.3 len behind Gloriously Sassy carrying 64.5kg at $4.20. Definite threat over this longer trip.

Most recently 7th of 10 at Beverley on June 17 over 1500m, 7 len behind Gloriously Sassy carrying 62kg at $29. The run before that came from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Bangor-On-Dee May 17 over 3300m defeating Old Bridge carrying 68.5kg at $1.80. Prepared to risk.

Racing first-up today. Finished off last campaign fourth of 10 at Lingfield All Weather January 3 over 2000m, 7 len behind Boatswain with 60.5kg at $3.80. On debut sixth of 11 at Lingfield All Weather November 21 over 2000m, 6 len behind Sea Scout carrying 60.5kg at $5. Likely improver who can start this prep in a strong way.

Third race start. Promising on debut 2nd of 9 at Southwell All Weather on November 21 over 1600m, 1.3 len behind Seven Symphonies carrying 60.5kg at $9. Went for a spell before returning 8th of 16 at Doncaster on June 7 over 1400m, 13 len behind Remmooz with 59kg at $7.50. Strips fitter and is well-placed to take this out.
