THE USAVE BUSINESS ENERGY CONSULTANCY EBF NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 5) (GBB RACE)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This one-mile Novice Stakes is restricted to two-year-olds but in order to take part all of the runners must meet certain conditions. Unlike a maiden, which is restricted to horses yet to record a victory, winning horses which have run in a maximum of six races are eligible to run. Weights are set according to sex before previous winners are allocated penalties depending on the level at which they have been successful.

Ffos Las scorer Evocative Spark looks the one to chase home Mark Johnston’s colt, with Thirsk-third Sharvara appealing as the pick of the remainder. 1-2-3: 1.QITAAL 2.EVOCATIVE SPARK (IRE) 3.SHARVARA FOR NOVICE TWO YRS OLD,
