Leicester Race 2 - British Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
KING'S CAVALRY (4) sets the standard after a close 2nd here over 1408m last start, beaten 1L from the inside draw, and maps to get a similar run. MASKED WARRIOR (5) brings solid juvenile form, 3rd at Newbury over 1408m then 2nd at Nottingham over 1677m, and looks a key chance back to this trip. GALBA (3) resumes at 7f after a Newbury 3rd on debut and can improve on his Newmarket run. Debutant DISTANT MOON (2) adds intrigue from gate 1.
