Newbury Race 4 - Juddmonte Ebf Restricted Novice Stakes
SHAMAN CHAMPION (1) was an impressive 4L winner on debut at Leicester before finishing ninth attempting the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot. Steps down in grade and warrants respect. Leading contender. ASTRAZAR (3) improved from a debuting seventh at Ascot to miss by a neck placing second at Salisbury. May go one better. COMIC HERO (6) placed 0.5L third at Salisbury on the back of a debutante seventh at Bath. Expected to challenge. JOHN BARLEYCORN (7) finished fourth behind the third pick in the same Salisbury novice event. Might reverse placings.

Jumped at long odds at debut, eased back early on 5th of 7 at Salisbury on June 25 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Nifty carrying 58.5kg at $34. Will take a lot from that hitout and is a key runner.
