Pontefract Race 2 - Juddmonte EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
TOO MANY SPIRITS (7) finished fifth on first career appearance attempting a 1000m maiden at Thirsk. Then improved to narrowly lose out by a short-head contesting a novice race at this venue. May go one better. RICKY PUNTING (10) missed out on the placings running fourth in a novice race at Bath before finishing second last week in a Hamilton Park maiden. Expected to challenge. LE GRAND ETOILE (3) is the pick of the debutants. Bred by Shaman out of Zanoubiya and is a half-sister to G3 Give Thanks Stakes winner Zannda. Worth considering. ARRBOB (5) cannot be discounted after managing fourth last time out at Beverley.

At debut, 3rd of 7 at Lingfield All Weather on April 30 over 1200m, 4 len behind Alpe D'huez carrying 60.5kg at $13. Better for that outing and likely to be about the mark again.
