THE CCR RESTRICTED MAIDEN STAKES (CLASS 5) (for horses in Band D) (GBB RACE)

City Selections

Magnusson, who is a full-brother to 7f Listed winner Aldaary, appeals most of the three newcomers and is one to monitor closely in the betting market. However, SEA THE BUCKTHORN ran well in defeat in a novice stakes contest at Southwell last month and created the impression that the return to this trip should suit. Woodstock has shown ability and is respected as a likely improver, while Margaret’s Fuchsia can also ﬁgure prominently

Running for the ﬁrst time since Gelding No. 1, 2, 3.

Stewards Note:

SCRAMBLE: Following its run on 12/2/2023 it was reported that the horse hung right turning for home.

Probable S.P’s: 8-11 Woodstock (GB), 13-2 Sea The Buckthorn (GB), 7-1 Scramble (GB), 8-1 Magnusson (GB), 25-1 Margaret’s Fuchsia (GB), 40-1 Soothing Blaze (GB), 50-1 Dragonmyheart (IRE), 66-1 Darlo Pride (GB), 200-1 Pink Walls (GB)

This is best left to WOODSTOCK, who attracted support ahead of his promising debut second at Southwell recently and will be more street-wise this time. Newcomer Magnusson is one to note in the betting and is put forward as the suggestion for forecast purposes ahead of stablemate Sea The Buckthorn and Scramble.
