1 2 3YO only 15:25 Newmarket 17 May 2025 Darley EBF Novice Stakes £20,616 1m 4f Good to Firm null Weak GOLD CUP DAY took a big step forward from his debut when winning easily over 1m4f at Salisbury a couple of weeks ago. William Haggas' colt is likely to have more to offer here and he sets the standard, despite carrying a 6lb penalty. Pole Star was only beaten two lengths when fourth on his racecourse bow at Chester recently and the son of Teofilo should not be discounted. Middle Ages edges out Minhad and Dangerman to be best of the rest. It's a tight call between Pole Star and GOLD CUP DAY with marginal preference for the latter. William Haggas's colt sluiced in on seconf start having dictated affairs and running the field ragged before easing close home with over 5l to spare on the second. That race is tricky to evaluate with just one runner having had any prior experience but the manner of the victory is hard to ignore and it should take a big performance to lower his colours. Pole Star could be capable of that having shown plenty of promise when 4th of 6 at Chester on debut despite being very green early. The penny dropped late and he came home well but the bird had already flown. The Gosden's runner, Dangerman, was dismal on debut but showed that to be all wrong last time when second of three at Doncaster. That might have flattered him a touch but if taken at face value he can hold off the previous winner Middle Ages to make the frame Gold Cup Day Pole Star Gold Cup Day Pole Star Dangerman 44 2 27.7 Gold Cup Day null b c Golden Horn Great And Small Galileo 3 61.69 null null Cieren Fallon null W J Haggas Well backed when winning a maiden at Salisbury by 5 1/2l last time when eased near line; conditions suit; big player null 6 null null 2.1 1.83 -12.7 674.47 378
