Fahey’s Boy is the one at Catterick

Youngster will improve with experience

GABRIALS BOY can step up on a promising debut in the Minster FM Novice Stakes at Catterick.

Richard Fahey’s youngster, not surprisingly owned by Dr Marwan Koukash given his Gabrial moniker, finished fourth of 13 on his debut at Doncaster.

The Paco Boy colt looked green early on and was outpaced a little before finishing his race off strongly, with best furlong definitely the last.

Mick Channon has a decent record when sending his horses north, which makes ENJOY THE MOMENT of interest in the Carnival Family Day Selling Stakes.

Richard Spencer’s SKONTONOVSKI is obviously pretty highly regarded and looks of interest in the British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes at Windsor.

Slowly away after being impeded, he was always on the back foot before finishing his race off well to be fifth.

He has plenty of big-race entries and can be expected to take this on his way to one of them.

Her rider Jack Mitchell could enjoy a good day at the Surrey circuit, as his mount MANORAH brings solid form to the table in Witheford Equine Barrier Trials At Lingfield Park Fillies’ Handicap.
