With three outings already in the books, Des Donovan trainee Alkuwarrior (Ire) (Alkumait {GB}) was the most experienced contender in Tuesday's British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes at Great Yarmouth and his ringcraft was a telling factor as he made all for a narrow victory to become the first winner for his Capital Stud-based sire (by Showcasing {GB}) in the extended five-furlong dash. "He jumped very well, but was a little bit keen early on in the race," reflected rider Mason Paetel. "I just let him get into his own...

Great Yarmouth's £40,000 British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Fillies' S., which witnessed a 'TDN Rising Star' display in the extended five-furlong dash last year, played host to another as Cheveley Park Stud's homebred 2-year-old filly Spherical (GB) (Blue Point {Ire}--Spatial {GB}, by New Approach {Ire}) powered to an impressive success in this year's renewal.
