Leicester Race 2 - British EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
KING'S CAVALRY (4) was beaten just 1L second tackling track and trip on recent return. That was a good effort and there could be more to come yet. The one to beat. MASKED WARRIOR (5) has been off the track for six and a half months. Showed plenty of talent first two starts when placing at Newbury and Nottingham. Resumes for a very much in form yard and certainly holds ability to win a race of this grade. Key player. RACE TO THE EDGE (6) is a sibling to multiple winners. Bred to have a lot of ability and this journey may suit first up. Expect a bold showing. DISTANT MOON (2) is a smartly bred son of Showcasing. Yard had a debut winner last week and no surprise to see going close also.

Was at a huge quote at debut, 10th of 13 at this track on April 13 over 1200m, 15 len behind Westport with 59kg at $126. Better for that run but may need more time.

Third race start. First start set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 7 at Newbury on October 24 over 1300m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Shipbourne with 60.5kg at $3.80. Went for a break before returning second last of 8 at Newmarket (Rowley) on April 14 over 1400m, 7 len behind Cerro Blanco with 58kg at $15. Rates highly and should improve.
