Chelmsford City Race 1 - Uk Garage Raceday Maiden Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
MONTEVETRO (4) is a three year old gelding making his debut. By Mehmas out of Halla Na Saoire and hailing from a yard maintaining a strong record with first starters. Favourable draw. Expected to be prominent in the market. BAY OF MYTHS (1) is a well bred colt having his first run. By New Bay out of Magic Nymph who has delivered black type winners. Appeals as one of the main chances. FREE YOURSELF (6) debuted recently when finishing sixth over 1900m at Wolverhampton beaten 4.5L. May take a step forward. GHAIYYATH DEER (2) showed progress from his debut when finishing closer over 1600m at Lingfield Park beaten 8L. Shortlist.
