Maiden Stakes (Class 5
THE SCOTTISH RACING ACADEMY MAIDEN STAKES (CLASS 5) (GBB RACE)
RACE DESCRIPTION
This one mile contest for those aged three-years-old and upwards is another maiden stakes - a race for horses that have yet to record a racecourse victory. There are a variety of reasons why the older horses in this race could still be maidens. Stoutly bred horses are unlikely to be seen at their best over the shorter distances of their juvenile season whilst a setback or injury can curtail even the most precociously bred horse’s two-year-old career.
RACE STATISTICS
Leading course trainer (17-22): K Dalgleish (57 wins from 434 runners, 13%) runs I’M TO BLAME Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): C & M Johnston (11 wins from 74 runners, 15%) runs ENKINDLE Longest Traveller: CUBANA HABANA trained by R Fahey, Malton, 203 miles. MAHANAKHON trained by T Easterby, Malton, 203 miles.
BETTING FORECAST: 9-4 Cubana Habana (FR), 5-2 Mahanakhon (GB), 7-2 Manaslu (IRE), 7-1 Enkindle (GB), 14-1 I’m To Blame (IRE), 33-1 Calderbank (GB) RACE SUMMARY: CUBANA HABANA shaped promisingly from a poor position when third on debut at Thirsk 3 weeks ago and with progress anticipated, he gets the nod to make a bold bid to make it second time lucky. Mahanakhon is another who shaped well on debut and is feared most. Manaslu may do best of the others.

TIMEFORM VIEW Useful chaser at his best who added to his hurdles tally at Musselburgh (19.8f) in February. Below best at Perth on latest start in that sphere 10 days ago and no easy task on conceding weight to host of 3-y-os on Flat debut. TF RatingHHHII BHA -

TIMEFORM VIEW £85,000 purchase as a 2-y-o who shaped promisingly from a poor position when close-up third at Thirsk (1m, soft) 3 weeks ago, nearest finish having not been unduly punished. Worth a look with that under his belt. TF RatingHHHHH BHA -

TIMEFORM VIEW Didn’t go unsupported but ultimately held back by inexperience when last of 6 in an Epsom maiden (7f) back in August. Gelded subsequently however, and he rates a likely improver for his good yard now embarking on 3-y-o campaign. TF RatingHHHII BHA -
