Newmarket Race 4 - British Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
I AM I SAID (1) was an impressive 4.25L winner debuting last season at Newmarket (Rowley). Unable to follow up on first start this year finishing last of five in the G3 Classic Trial at Sandown Park. Returns after a break and is markedly down in grade. Leading contender. NOBLE HORIZON (4) is improving with each start. Was 1L runner-up in latest at Chepstow three weeks back. Represents a notable trainer. Respect. NATIVE SPIRIT (3) ran fourth making debut at Nottingham recently. Improvement expected. ARCIMBOLDO (2) can fill fourth spot.

Third race start. Strong on debut won by 4.5 len at Newmarket (Rowley) October 23 over 1600m on a soft track defeating Byblos carrying 60.5kg at $21. Went for a spell before returning ran last in a small field at Sandown Park in the G3 Sandown Classic Trial on April 25 over 2010m, 9 len behind Swagman carrying 58.5kg at $4. Only has a small field to contend with and is a strong winning hope.

Had two starts to date. At debut, ran last of 10 at Windsor on April 28 over 1630m, 17 len behind Al Shababi with 58kg at $13. Second-up 10th of 12 at Nottingham on June 1 over 1700m, 32 len behind One More Chrome with 59.5kg at $26. Taking on a better field but he looks an improver who can measure up.

Third-up today. First-up 3rd of 8 at Newmarket (Rowley) on May 16 over 1600m, 6 len behind Bedouin Prince carrying 59kg at $2.40. Last start 2nd of 12 at Chepstow on May 30 over 2000m, 1.0 len behind Rogue Millions carrying 58kg at $3. Should stay out of trouble in the small field and is sure to play a big role.
