Leicester Race 3 - Madri Excepcional Maiden Stakes (Gbb Race)
NAVAL COMMAND (4) represents leading connections. Finished fourth on debut at Kempton last October and improvement expected following a winter break. Leading contender. URBAN WARRIOR (10) is stablemate to the top pick making debut. Bred by Night of Thunder out of Cape Cross mare Khawlah. This half-brother to 2018 Epsom Derby winner Masar could be impactful. SERENITY BLUE (7) is another debutant of note. Bred by Lope De Vega out of Teofilo mare Moi Meme also a full brother to three-time Listed winner King of Conquest along with G3 Pride Stakes winner Lady Boba and G3 Solario Stakes winner King Vega. Warrants thought. ASMEN WARRIOR (1) might go one better than a second at Redcar.
