Newmarket Race 2 - Debenhams Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
BAYAANN (1) looks the one to beat after a debut win at Lingfield over 1409m, coming from midfield to score by 1.5L, and now steps to the mile from gate 1. QUARTERMASTER (2) is a key chance off a Chelmsford 1408m debut win by 1L and also rises in trip. QUEEN'S COMPANION (10) appeals next after leading for a long way when 3rd at Newbury over 1610m. TALES OF WISDOM (3) can improve second up after a close 5th of 14 at Kempton over 1408m.

Three-year-old gelding trained by R Spencer, drawn barrier 9 with 59kg and Saffie Osborne booked. French-bred by City Light out of Tick Toch. Data-light setup but strikes a suitable profile on paper. Can improve.
