Vocalised colt is a half-brother to 7f winner Orange Intense. Promising run on debut at the Curragh at the end of last month when ninth of 14 at 100/1. Would have to improve significantly to take a hand.

3/1

Two fairly solid performances in August makes the Lope De Vega colt worth a check in the markets, though sire's progeny has a meager record on heavy ground.

Forecasts

Dubai Is Great (1/3), Raynama (11/8), Sebastiano Ricci (3/1), Clueless Hill (12/1), Howya Harry (40/1)

Tricky maiden where a couple of the field will be expected to improve on their most recent starts. The experience and recent development of Sebastiano Ricci will be interesting to anticipate here but will possibly find the continued progress of RAYNAMA too much in this contest.
