3.45 Beverley
Brian Yeardley Continental Two Year Old Trophy (Conditions
Stakes) (Class 2) (2YO only)
Winner £9,346
Pick: Hamza (win)
Arnold Lane: Made a promising winning debut with bit in hand
in fair 5f Leicester maiden earlier this month (revered well from slow start, well
on top despite idling late on); Stable have made a useful start with juvenile
this season and bold bid likely.
Gabrial: Made probably the most impressive debut in the field
when defying poor draw, start and wide trip to get up in Chester maiden (well
backed) & while form of that race been let down, that best ignored; Can go
close for in form pair.
Hamza: Was a ready winner of a 5f Musselburgh maiden on
debut from subsequent winner & bettered that form significantly when clear
second to Royal Ascot prospect Gatepost, with four other winners behind (excellent
time); Stiff uphill finish will test him today but holds excellent chance.
Mitchum: Cantered home in a 5f Fibresand maiden on debut at
Southwell and while form of that event not been franked, must be respected off
the back of that; Will do well to follow up here but entirely capable of doing
so.
Cravat: Seemed as if he’d enjoy a step up in trip when showing
good attitude in making winning start in ordinary C&D maiden this month but
well held in useful York novice event last time (Hamza second) and not fancied,
despite having endured a rough passage.
VERDICT: HAMZA’S debut win makes him look as good as any of
these and he enhanced his reputation if anything when making a bold bid in a
useful York conditions contest last time. He can get the better of Gabriel,
Arnold Lane & Mitchum.
