Newbury Race 1 - Ire-Incentive, It Pays To Buy Irish Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
The experienced CILICIAN (4) can take this. Produced two seconds and a midfield effort at Royal Ascot in the G2 Norfolk Stakes and arrives after a 1.75L defeat attempting a 1400m Sandown novice. Sets a high standard and could prove hard to stop. FORCE OF LIGHT (6) is with Godolphin and the pick of newcomers. Related to G1 winners Shadow Of Light and Earthlight and primed for first time. One of the main players. SHOOT YOU DOWN (15) is another debutant to watch. This expensive yearling is out of a smart mare. PRIMAL (10) might also be in the mix. Provided a good 2.5L fourth in a 1200m Kempton novice last time and should build on that. Something for the Multiples: CAVALIER (3)

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 6th of 12 at Nottingham on June 3 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind The Ginger Kid carrying 60.5kg at $15. Last start 4th of 10 at Kempton Park All Weather on June 29 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Firehorse with 60.5kg at $1.40. Likely improver with the extra trip expected to suit.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 4th in a small field at Lingfield on May 18 over 1400m, 17 len behind Notable Dream with 60.5kg at $5.50. Second-up 4th of 8 at Salisbury on June 30 over 1400m, 8 len behind Breacher carrying 60.5kg at $5.50. Goes up a rung or two but he looks an improver worth another chance.
