Salisbury Race 2 - Robert Gilbert Birthday Celebration Irish Ebf Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
SPIRIT OF LYRA (8) Gave them a lesson when winning by a margin of 3 1/2L last time at Lingfield. Appears well in this. CHAN NOIR (1) Ran 6th last start at Newcastle. Can make a comeback but going up in weight. Should be swooping on the field late. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . LOWCOUNTRY (5) Initial appearance 2yo by Mayson for Tom Ward. Market as guide. HELLO YOU TEN (2) Was competitive when 3rd last run at Newmarket and competing in a lower grade. Likely to fill a place.

Odds of $4.33 and came in 6th last start at Newcastle. Can make a comeback but up in weight. Finishes off strongly. Has strong claims.

Ran 2nd last start at Hamilton. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Not at all out of this race.

At $13.00 was nothing special when 12th last run at Kempton but fitter for debut run. Others preferred.

Started at $15.00 and weakened under pressure when 10th last run at Newbury. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Do not dismiss.

On a short turnaround. Odds of $101.00 and fairly underwhelming when 9th last time at Newbury but was a debutant last start. Taking on a lower class of opponents. Tested here.
