Newmarket Race 2 - Racing Welfare Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
This should be a routine opportunity for the Charlie Appleby trained CERRO BLANCO (1) who arrives here off the back of finishing 1.25L second in the listed King Charles II Stakes on the Rowley Mile. Looks to be a class above this field. VASTERN (5) never made the track for George Boughey but wasn't disgraced on debut for Adam Kirby at Chepstow a few weeks ago. Will learn plenty from that experience and holds every chance. Newcomer ANNCANYA (6) will need to be exceptional on debut to win but has winners in the pedigree and is noted. LIVEMORE (3) looks to be a long term project and is best watched.

He is resuming after a eight months break. Not seen since he finished last in a small field at Chelmsford November 6 over 2000m, 14 len behind Onyeisi carrying 57.5kg at $51. On debut sixth of 8 at Musselburgh August 8 over 1400m, 8 len behind Homestrait carrying 59kg at $34. Will need to go to a new level to feature.

Lining up for just third start. At big odds at debut, ran last in a small field at Newmarket (Rowley) on April 16 over 1400m, 33 len behind Hassaleh carrying 58.5kg at $41. Last start 8th of 11 at Great Yarmouth on June 10 over 1400m, 6 len behind Shushu carrying 58kg at $251. Unlikely to threaten.
