York Race 1 - Sky Bet Ebfstallions.com Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
SIR SIRIUS (9) was an expensive purchase as a yearling and could be primed for his debut. The Starman colt has an excellent pedigree on paper being related to some useful sprinters and should be forward-going. He is the pick of the Kevin Ryan runners. Stablemate STATTEN ISLAND (11) is also a live contender. The Starspangledbanner colt also has a nice profile. ROCK STEADY BEAT (8) represents the Karl Burke yard which won this in 2024. The Minzaal newcomer is a key runner tackling an open race. SUE'S LAST CHANCE (12) could be an each-way player. She is out of a US Listed-placed mare and well worth a market check.
