USEFUL: FORM BEHIND BOW ECHO POINTS TO BURKE RUNNER IN LISTED RACE AT PONTEFRACT
-
Karl Burke's Shayem can rise to the task in the British Stallion Studs EBF Silver Tankard Stakes at Pontefract today.
The colt has made an encouraging start to his career this season, winning a Haydock novice event on debut before returning to the same track to finish third in the Listed Ascendant Stakes over a mile in September.
On the latter occasion he was defeated by George Boughey's Bow Echo, a subsequent Group 2 winner in the Royal Lodge Stakes at Newmarket and a leading contender for next year's 2000 Guineas.
Shayem was also a winner next time out, heading to Epsom to contest the Betfred Derby ‘Wild Card’ EBF Conditions Stakes and coming home comfortably ahead in a small field to further demonstrate his promise.
