Dark Angel colt, cost 75,000 gns as a foal and €100,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to a Listed winner and dam a half-sister to a Group 3 winner. Likely to stay a bit further but of interest judged on pedigree.

8/11
Galileo colt, cost 240,000 gns as a yearling. Full-brother to multiple Group 1 winner Highland Reel and Group 2 winner Idaho. Shaped with plenty of promise on debut. Beautifully bred and yard's runners often take a big step forward from first start.
Vocalised colt, dam a winner over further and half-sister to several winners. Yard have hit some form of late and won this race last year but he looks like the second string on jockey bookings; may need the run here.

Morpheus colt, cost €16,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to six winners. Has failed to beat a rival home in two runs this year and hard to fancy on all known form.

Galileo colt, dam a Group 3 winner over this trip. Makes plenty of appeal on paper but the yard's runners often benefit from their debuts and he's the likely second string here.

Olympic Glory colt, cost £140,000 as a yearling. Pedigree largely suggests he will want further than this and his debut run pointed to similar when sixth of 14 at Leopardstown. Others preferred.

Battle Of Marengo colt, cost 55,000 gns as a foal. Dam a half-sister to a Listed winner. Last of nine on debut and may need more time as well as a greater stamina test than this.
Australia colt, cost €120,000 as a foal. Dam a half-sister to two-time Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Treve and a Listed winner. A very nice prospect on paper but may need the run on debut and down the order on jockey bookings.

Oasis Dream colt, dam a Listed winner and half-sister to 12-time Group winner Famous Name and two more pattern level winners. Yard in form and fair chance he will be ready for debut. Interesting runner.

Forecasts

Cape Of Good Hope (8/11), Vocatus (3/1), Zander (4/1), Motashakel (7/1), Mohawk (11/1), Whitsunday Islands (12/1), An Aingeal Dubh (16/1), Copia Verborum (33/1), Rex Place (40/1), Deep House (80/1)

Verdict

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE's relations are certainly eye-catching and there's every chance he can take a big step forward from a promising debut at Leopardstown last month. Zander and An Aingeal Dubh are two fascinating debutantes but Vocatus is taken as the main danger stepped up in trip.
  1. Cape Of Good Hope
  2. Vocatus
  3. An Aingeal Dubh
