Thirsk Race 3 - British Stallion Studs Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
NORTH FORCE (3) is out of a G2-winning mare. Made a pleasing debut when third at Doncaster (1209m). Could appreciate this longer trip and make a bold bid. Fellow Frankel colt SOVEREIGN WEALTH (7) finished third both starts to date. Future winner was in behind on the more recent occasion. Chance. Ulysses colt POETRY OF TIME (5) takes the eye on paper. Might do better for the experience. TAKE A TIP (9) is by Ardad out of a proven winner and producer who placed at black-type level. Warrants a close market check ahead of initial outing.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 3rd in a small field at Epsom Downs on July 17 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Big Song carrying 60.5kg at $4.30. Second-up sat on the pace when 3rd of 8 at Beverley on August 13 over 1500m, 9 len behind He's Waliim with 60.5kg at $3. Impressive so far and must be included.
