Leicester Race 1 - British EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
THUNDA STRUCK (10) shaped well when 1.25L second at Ripon on debut. Showed a lot of pace that day and drop in trip is no issue. Expected to improve and rates a leading contender amongst this field. SKY SECRET (3) was well supported as a debutante missing the frame finishing 2.25L fourth at this track. With apprentice weight relief expected to play a key role. MY NORMANDIE (5) is a smartly bred daughter of Ardad. Yard can ready one for debut and is easy to fancy racing first up. QUANTUM SWIFT (6) placed debuting at Wolverhampton. That was promising however failed to build upon that second up. Could now take a step forward and holds each way claims.
