Thirsk Race 2 - Theakston Nowt Peculier 0.0% Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
ZEUS OLYMPIOS (3) secured a victory on debut at Kempton Park AW in January scoring by 1L. Interesting following a six month break and can double up. NEPAL (7) brings plenty of experience. Placed twice in five career starts while finished fourth last time at The Curragh. Races for new trainer. Thereabouts. DUE WEST (4) represents notable connections. Makes seasonal reappearance following a last start fourth at Lingfield Park AW. Place chance. FURHAAN (5) makes the shortlist.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only one run when second last of 8 at Newmarket (Rowley) on October 7 2023 over 1400m, 12 len behind Sons And Lovers with 60.5kg at $2.30. Fitter and can only be improved but others preferred this time.

Second run back. First-up after seven months second last of 7 at Pontefract on July 27 over 1600m, 21 len behind Charming Princess with 62.5kg at $301. Previously second-up 10th of 12 at Wetherby on December 27 over 3200m, 18 len behind Harbour Island carrying 69.5kg at $126. That run was a bit plain so prefer him later on.

Raced two times to date. At debut, got back early 7th of 10 at Windsor on June 9 over 1630m, 11 len behind Accentuate with 60.5kg at $23. Second-up eased back early on 9th of 13 at Ffos Las on July 9 over 1600m, 17 len behind High Degree with 60.5kg at $34. Needs to improve sharply.

Third race start. First start ran last of 12 at Newbury on April 12 over 1600m, 15 len behind Point Of Contact with 60.5kg at $51. Went for a spell before returning 5th of 7 at Beverley on June 24 over 1700m, 6 len behind Special Ghaiyyath carrying 60kg at $10. Fitter but unlikely to threaten.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 36-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 19 at Curragh on June 27 over 2011m, 2.5 len behind Our Friend Mouse with 61kg at $23. Before that 3rd of 10 at Killarney on May 13 over 1609m, 4.5 len behind Gun Carriage carrying 61kg at $23. Solid top-three chance with a repeat of that latest performance.

First-starter by Sogann out of Convitezza. The betting is the best pointer to her chances.
