Thirsk Race 3 - British Ebf Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
CASHBOX (8) improved from a debut eighth to producing a runner-up effort on most recent appearance at Brighton. Could go one better and make it third time lucky. BE THE STANDARD (2) placed both starts so far with a third when debuting and a second a fortnight ago at Newbury. Will be thereabouts. MAGICAL MERLOT (4) finished sixth providing first career outing at Newbury. More to come. BIG SONG (1) shed the maiden tag by a nose in latest at Epsom Downs. Might double up.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at Haydock Park on July 19 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Birgham Dub carrying 60.5kg at $2.90. Last start rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 7 at Newbury on August 15 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Bow Echo with 60.5kg at $7. Can push forward again and he will prove tough to beat.

At debut, 3rd of 10 at Newcastle All Weather on July 26 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Sudbury Hill with 60.5kg at $12. Should come on following that experience and likely to be about the mark again.
