Nottingham Race 4

British Stallion Studs Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)

Stake: $81,180

SECRET THEORY (3) made the perfect start to his career when a head winner at Newmarket. Racing for top connections and open to any amount of improvement. Will take beating. ARCHIVIST (4) looks overdue a victory after three consecutive second placed finishes. Switches to top yard and likely fit for return. Key player. HORNSEA BAY (1) indicated ability securing a win and a close second delivering first campaign. Can make an even better 3 year old so worth keeping safe. RUN WITH IT (2) steps up in grade following a head success at Southwell. Provides initial turf outing. Genuine threat to all.

Colt back from a spell of six months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation second of 8 at this track October 16 over 1700m, in the wet; 2.5 len behind Smoken with 60.5kg at $1.80. First up last campaign second of 11 at Leicester September 10 over 1400m, soft track; 1.5 len behind Starzintheireyes with 58kg at $4.50. Should give a great sight.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
