Sandown Park Race 3 - Tattersalls 40,000 Pound Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
CILICIAN (5) was lining up for just the second time last start when 5L eleventh over 1200m at Ascot. Expected to be camping just off the leaders and with further progress rates a great chance. ENCOUNTER (7) looks close to a win after making the frame both runs including latest when third at this track tackling 1400m. Should be prominent from the outset. Leading contender. GYMBAAZY (2) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut trying 1400m here and will come on following that outing. Definite threat. THE BALEARIC SUN (11) is a two-year-old colt on debut by Lope De Vega from Sunny Again who has been an outstanding producer including winners at black type level.

Claiming his maiden victory on debut; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at Catterick June 11 over 1400m defeating Leave The Bag In with 60.5kg at $3.30. Better for that experience and is worth following up.

Claiming his maiden victory on debut; won by a neck at this track June 12 over 1400m defeating King's Welcome carrying 60.5kg at $23. Will take a lot from that run and is sure to play a big role.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, won by 1.0 len at Chepstow May 21 over 1200m defeating Forest Berry with 60.5kg at $15. Second-up ran second last in a small field at Goodwood on June 7 over 1200m, slow going 2.25 len behind The Harv with 61kg at $6. He is one of the chances.

Raced twice to date. At big odds at debut, 2nd of 12 at Nottingham on June 3 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind The Ginger Kid with 60.5kg at $26. Second-up 11th of 21 at Ascot in the G2 Coventry Stakes on June 16 over 1200m, 5 len behind Great Barrier Reef carrying 58.5kg at $67. Go on that strong debut performance; great chance to atone.

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, 2nd in a small field at Lingfield on May 18 over 1400m, 6 len behind Notable Dream carrying 60.5kg at $3.30. Second-up 3rd of 7 at this track on June 12 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Gymbaazy carrying 60.5kg at $4.50. Rates highly and should run well.
