An exciting young prospect heads to Yarmouth and Newbury, with both Flat meetings on Thursday being shown live on Sky Sports Racing. Among them is a half-brother to Earthlight, an exciting first-season stallion.
3.00 Yarmouth – Shadow Of Light Trying to Shine in Debut
Shadow of lightEarthlight's half-brother, Charlie Appleby and Godolphin make their first start. Weatherby EBF Maiden Stakes (3.00).
William Buick's horse is a son of Lope de Vega and a half-brother to Earthlight, and he is well-bred and will likely follow in Earthlight's footsteps to win his first race.
He doesn't hesitate One of the few horses with this racing experience, he set the standard with two good races at Newbury and Ayr for Charlie Fellowes. His last racing form was confirmed when he finished second to Electrolyte in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Lakers A debutant at George Boogie, the son of Pinatubo is also not to be underestimated at Amo Racing.
4.00 Yarmouth – Henry bid followed by handicapping company
Because of Henry Making his handicap debut. QuinnBet Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap (4.00).
Eve Johnson Horton's horse was a comfortable winner in the last Lingfield Maiden, beating an exposed type and earning a rating of 77. He is much less exposed than most of these and looks to have a good chance of striking again.
Ron Piper Still searching for that elusive first win after three starts under Tom Clover, he has been up against some improved horses and should not be discounted on his handicap debut having finished third behind Native Warrior in the Ascot Britannia Stakes last time out.
Always Arthur He wants to build on his last win at Leicester. He looks the most exposed, but he sets the standard.
6.45 Newbury – Boulding's Royal Victory Handcuffs Bid
Andrew Boulding sends out the Royal Runner. Handcuffed at English Provider Company supporting the Billington Foundation EBF Phillies Novice Stakes (6.45).
The two-year-old Dark Angel filly comes from a prominent Royal Runner family and is a half-sister to Tactical, winner of Royal Ascot in 2020. She may not have run as fast as her brothers but she is a leader in this competitive field. Bolding has been 5-42 with the novices this year and will be feared if she knows her role on debut.
Stellenbosch Another interesting character from Richard Hannon and Westerberg's debut. He is from the lovely Coolmore family, and is a full sister to Minding, Tuesday and Empress Josephine. Her lineage means she is to be feared.
