Robert Gilbert Birthday Celebration Irish EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (Bands B-D) (GBB Race)

Salisbury · 17:57 · Friday, 21 August 2026 · 6f · Good To Firm · Class 5

🤖 AI race preview

Spirit Of Lyra emerges as the standout with a strong recent form, having won at Lingfield under good to firm conditions and showing consistent improvement with a high RPR of 97 and a solid 81 OFR, while maintaining a competitive draw of 5. Her performance in the 6f race where she led and held off pressure in the final stretch suggests she can dictate the pace and shape, making her the horse most likely to challenge early and hold through the closing stages. The main dangers come from Chan Noir, who showed promise in his debut win at Nottingham and has a strong RPR of 81, and Mr Montgomery, a first-time headgear runner who was well beaten in a 7f novice, offering a potential value at the forecast price despite a poor recent run. Fillipas and Hello You Ten, both with low RPRs and recent form struggles, present each-way appeal due to their lack of consistency and potential for a late surge.
