Wolverhampton Race 5 - Midnite: Built For 2025 Not 2005 Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
NATIVE SPIRIT (3) showed signs of real ability in three career starts. Ran well over 2000m at Newmarket and finds a winnable race tackling this trip providing all weather debut. Major player. HEED (6) is a talented filly who was found at listed stakes class at Compiegne. Hood fitted for the first time and cannot be taken lightly. Expect a bold showing. Debutante ALSHERA (4) is a filly from the stable of John and Thady Gosden. By Sea The Stars from Adool so watch the market for clues. MY FERMOY (2) bounced back last time managing a solid second in a Nottingham novice event tackling 1700m. Not far off the standard required

He is resuming after a four-and-a-half months break. Not seen since he finished last of 8 at Ffos Las June 30 over 2000m, 59 len behind Fantasy World with 62.5kg at $501. On debut second last of 11 at Windsor June 9 over 2000m, 37 len behind Nahraan carrying 62kg at $201. Not keen on what we have seen to date.

At the latest run sat on the pace when 2nd of 11 at Nottingham on October 15 over 1700m, 1.0 len behind Return To Unit with 60.5kg at $5.50. The run before that 6th of 8 at Lingfield All Weather on September 23 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Panelli with 60.5kg at $21. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. Don't underestimate.

Second-up. Comes off a 45-day let-up. First-up after three months raced on the pace when 3rd of 9 at Newmarket (Rowley) on September 20 over 2000m, 5.5 len behind Mothecombe with 59kg at $12. Previously second-up second last in a small field at Newmarket (July) on June 20 over 2000m, 9 len behind I Am I Said with 59kg at $8. Sure to run well.

First-starter by Sea The Stars out of Adool. Should kick off on the right note.

Second-up. First start held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at Ascot on May 9 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind Wonder Star with 58kg at $13. Went for a break before returning in a small field at Chelmsford on October 23 over 2000m, 8 len behind Solarize carrying 58kg at $2.40. No easier this time and is likely to struggle.

Third race start today. At debut, won by a neck at Ffos Las August 29 over 1600m in soft going defeating Redbud Sixteen carrying 52kg at $6.
