A 110,000gns yearling, this Acclamation colt is a brother to two-year-old 6f winner Sergio Leone. Appears to be getting the hang of things but needs to raise his level of performance once again.

Stable in fine form right now boasting a 42% win and place strike rate in the last 14 days. can be expected to build on a couple of promising starts to date and entitled to make the shortlist.

No Nay Never colt, cost €65,000 as a yearling. Dam a winner and half-sister to two Group winners over 1m. Promising debut at Cork in May but the Group 2 Coventry stakes may have been a little above the colts level. More expected here.

Oasis Dream colt, dam a Listed winner and half-sister to 12-time Group winner Famous Name and two more pattern level winners. Plenty to like about his third of nine on debut in a Curragh maiden last month. Can be expected to improve.

Verdict

With the Jim Bolger stable in such good form right now it can be expected that the Teofilo colt CRUCIATUS will improve enough to take this prize getting off the mark at the third time of asking. The Coventry at Royal Ascot may have been a step too far for the Joseph O'Brien-trained No Needs Never last month but the colt can build on a promising debut run at Cork here to battle it out for a place with Biltmore, in first-time cheekpieces.
