Haydock Park Race 4 - Ashlar Construction Ebf Novice Stakes
GREAT OAK (1) got off to a winning start landing a match race at Ayr (1200m) by a neck during July. That form may not amount to much but he notably was a late scratch from a G2 last month. Could take beating. JASSAS (2) saluted first up at Doncaster (1400m) before finding a Deauville G3 too fierce latest. Might be bouncing back among this company. ST HELIER (3) stepped forward second up to make all in a Newcastle maiden attempting this journey three weeks ago. Can continue the upward trajectory. Sea The Moon colt NATIVE GERMAN (9) brings most appeal of the debutants for the Owen Burrows team. May appreciate the soft going.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at Ayr on July 20 over 1200m defeating Star People carrying 60.5kg at $1.30. Winning chance again.

Raced two times to date. When well in the market at debut, won by 1.75 len at Doncaster on July 23 over 1400m defeating Narrjoo with 60.5kg at $2.50. Second-up ran last in a small field in the G3 Prix Francois Boutin at Deauville on August 16 over 1400m, 10 len behind Avec Toi with 57.5kg at $3.40. Best form stacks up so he can bounce back.

Lining up for just third start. At long odds at debut, 8th of 12 at Wolverhampton on August 18 over 1400m, 7 len behind Javelot with 60.5kg at $34. Second-up 5th of 8 at Chester on September 12 over 1400m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Regency Royal with 58kg at $101. Happy to risk him here today.

Jumped at long odds at debut, ran second last in a small field at Ffos Las on August 12 over 1500m, 11 len behind Narrjoo with 59kg at $41. Don't think he will trouble this field.

Two-year-old colt by St Mark's Basilica out of Layaleena having his first start. Should kick off on the right note.

Two-year-old colt who is first starter by Sea The Moon out of Nouvelle Neige. Should kick off on the right note.
