Chester Race 2

Boodles Darley Ebf Maiden Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)

Prize Money: $73,800

THE POUNCING LION (4) finished 10L third on heavy ground over 1800m at Goodwood first time out in October. Might do better this season where stepping up to 2400m on better ground can bring about improvement while booking Ryan Moore catches the eye. AMMES (2) followed home a decent performer when runner-up at Kempton (2000m) and must be respected. Stepping up to 2400m could also be a big help to ORIONIS (6) following her staying on third at Wetherby in April. AL WASL STORM (1) also needs to be included tackling this tricky maiden.

Second-up. Promising on debut 4th of 7 at Chelmsford on November 7 over 2000m, 2 len behind Palazzo Blu carrying 60.5kg at $26. Went for a spell before returning 2nd of 14 at Kempton Park All Weather on April 21 over 2000m, 1.75 len behind Ernst Blofeld carrying 56.5kg at $11. Fitter for that run and will be tough to beat.

Racing well. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Musselburgh on April 19 over 2500m, 5 len behind Caspi Star carrying 60.5kg at $6. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Wolverhampton on March 14 over 2400m, 0.5 len behind Our 'Enery carrying 60.5kg at $19. Right in the mix.
