Thirsk Race 2 - Thomas Lord Dine & View Restaurant Great Value Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
ADVANCE TWENTYFIVE (3) wouldn't be the most obvious solution having failed to score in seven starts as a juvenile. Produced some smart performances however among decent company and arrives for the new season now having been gelded. Takes preference. INISHBEG (11) was beaten 8.5L second on comeback at Newcastle. Proved to be too keen that day. Among the leading chances against this line-up. BLUE BOY JUNIOR (4) is a notable newcomer by Space Blues for the Barron stable. See how he fares in the market. FOREST PHOENIX (8) and WEFFAAG (13) are a pair who could leave their debut efforts behind and maintain solid each way potential.
