Leicester Race 1 - Loros - Irish Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
AL WATHBA (1) is taken to get off the mark here at the second attempt. Bold effort on debut when missing by 1.5L in a Newmarket maiden attempting this journey. Winner of that race was subsequently 0.5L away in the G2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood. Looks very difficult to beat. JIMTROTT (3) has filled the runner-up spot twice among novice company at Newbury. Comfortably accounted for running 4L behind an odds-on favourite latest (1200m). Must settle better on this rise to 1400m. The obvious danger. Newcomer EBT'S WARRIOR (2) is a colt by Earthlight related to some fair performers. Represents the Muir and Grassick team. May do better for the experience.
