Salisbury Race 5 - Signs In Motion British Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
There was plenty to like from the Roger Varian-trained BINTWARD (1) when delivering an impressive 2.5L winning debut at Wolverhampton last month. Likely more to come tackling the longer trip. Top selection. GOLDEN ISLAND (5) missed the start and raced green on Newmarket racecourse debut. Improvement anticipated second-up. Main danger. HERSTMONCEUX (4) debuted with a 22L fifth of eight display at Ffos Las with Lewis Edmunds aboard. Not without a chance stepping up in distance. Former hurdle winner STOPHERANDGO (2) finished last but for one on first flat start at Ffos Las. Best watched unless proving popular.

Claiming her maiden victory on debut; ran on from midfield and won by 2.5 len at Wolverhampton on July 30 over 1900m defeating Pyramid carrying 58kg at $3. Better for that run and can go on with it.

Second-up today. Last start didn't finish the race at Kempton Park All Weather August 5 over 1600m. At only start last preparation ran last in a small field at Exeter on October 21 over 4300m, 82 len behind Where's Cato with 69.5kg at $17. Prefer to see her go around again before recommending.

At debut, ran second last in a small field at Newmarket (July) on July 31 over 2000m, 12 len behind Without Prejudice carrying 58kg at $21. Better for that hit-out and looks one of the main contenders.
