Musselburgh Race 2 - Menzies Meander Ebf Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
TIME FOR THE MOON (2) shaped with promise when third tackling 1400m at Haydock Park on debut beaten just 1L after attracting support. Natural improvement should bring him firmly into the finish and he looks ready to break through. HELDOBELDO (6) produced a strong first effort in better company when second attempting 1200m at Kempton Park All Weather defeated 0.8L. Brings plenty of upside representing the main danger. TRIBAL APPEARANCE (3) was not far away when fourth contesting 1400m at Haydock and his early pace gives him claims. Makes appeal. MR MINZ (1) debuts for Iain Jardine and any market support would be notable. Not discounted.

First-starter by Minzaal out of Clearly Crystal (EUR € 70,000 (Tattersalls.ie 2025 September Yearling Sale Part 1) purchase). Profiles well and worth watching for any market moves.

At debut, 2nd of 10 at Kempton Park All Weather on May 20 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Magnesium with 56.5kg at $17. Will derive great benefit from that experience and looks set to break the maiden status.
