Musselburgh Race 1 - Irish Ebf Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)
THE MEAN FIDDLER (3) has gone close on both starts missing by a nose at Pontefract before finishing 0.75L second tackling 1200m at Ripon. Further progress likely and sets the standard. CALEF (5) was only 3.5L away at Catterick and 2L at Hamilton before another respectable Pontefract fourth. The Chepstow run can be ignored after she unseated at the start. Main danger. PAPHOS (1) is a Kodi Bear colt out of a 1200m-winning Dark Angel mare whose dam Wizz Kid won the G1 Prix de l'Abbaye. Makes some appeal on debut. BY JOVE GRACE (4) finished 1.5L second debuting at Carlisle before a 6.5L fifth at Ripon. Remains open to improvement and cannot be discounted.

Two-year-old colt (Kodi Bear - Young Angel) making his debut. Should run a bold race.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, ran last of 11 at Thirsk on August 14 over 1200m, 17 len behind Final Objective carrying 60.5kg at $51. On the quick back-up but needs more time.

At the latest run didn't finish the race at Chepstow August 6 over 1000m. The run before that 4th in a small field at Pontefract on July 26 over 1000m, 4 len behind Bolt Of Blue carrying 58kg at $3.80. Better than the last effort suggests and is worth another chance.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when ran last of 8 at Catterick on June 22 over 1000m, 24 len behind Minzelle with 58kg at $34. Likely to need this hitout.
