May 24th: Lingfield
5f Aw Maiden - DIV II |
Owner bred by Ahmed Al Maktoum.
Second season sire made ok start in 2004 with 13 winners but short on quality.
Ok for 5f but runners tended to be better from mid-season onwards.
Has had two 5f winners in 2005, one on debut.
Dam is well related. Unraced at 2yo and placed over 11f.
Second runner of the season for the trainer after Goodwood declared 2yo
did not go because the meeting was abandoned. He is notable as a 'Show
FTO or nothing' type of trainer. He usually has his debut runners fit,
professional and ready to perform to a high level within their ability
and if they do not place, then they are probably moderate.
In 2003 & 2004 his first runner of the season was a winner (15/8f &
5/1). His first five debuts in the last two years have produced 2 wins
and 4 places from the ten 2yos. None of the four that were unplaced won
that season.
First runner yesterday was well beaten. L. Jones rides here.
In summary ought to be ready enough to be competitive in this moderate
race. Profile [62]
