Maiden and Novice Stakes Races Thursday

13:15 Newbury

Godolphin trainer Charlie Appleby is in flying form with his 2yos and he runs Sovereign Prince (by Dubawi).

He was slowly away on debut 3 weeks ago and should improve from that effort and be a major player here.

Odds: 4/1

13:35 Nottingham

Mercian Hymn by top sire Siyouni is worth persisting with.

He managed to place on debut before being switched to the all weather which you can forgive a poor run. Hopefully back on Turf he can run a race here at big odds.

Value jockey Callum Shepherd takes the ride who does well at this course.

Odds: 12/1

14:20 Newbury

Siyata another by Siyouni for Roger Charlton.

She showed immense promise on debut in April but last time ran on heavy ground and was well beaten.

It's possible we see a big improvement here on good to firm and with Will Buick booked.

Odds: 11/2.

Good luck and happy punting!
