Tailed off in two bumpers and last of 17 in Flat bow. Easy to pass over here.
Showed a little ability in pair of midfield finished in 1m4f maidens last year but will need to improve for the drop back in trip and new yard.
Beaten 18½L into 14th of 16 on debut two weeks ago. Should progress but unlikely enough to get near the principles.
By Motivator; fifth foal; half-brother to hurdle winners Ayelya (2m) & Alaliya (3m/3m1f); dam unraced half-sister to 1m2f Group 3 winner Alayan. Market can guide as to expectations for respected yard.
€1,200 yearling by Elusive Pimpernel ; 9th foal; brother to useful 2m hurdle winner Elusive Belle, half-brother to winners Bellini Bliss (Ire/US 1m) and Lonely Star (German 7f/1m). Best watched here.
Galileo colt, brother to a Group 1 winner who was the dam of 2,000 Guineas winner Saxon Warrior. Shaped well when sixth of 18 on sole start last year and headed on line when second on return at Naas. Will take a lot of beating here.
By Frankel; second foal; half-brother to 1m2f winner Broad Street; dam 7f AW 2yo winner, half-sister to French 1m 2yo winner Rip Roaring. Well bred so market will be useful.
By Galileo out of triple Group 1 winner Moonlight Cloud he was unfancied and a well beaten 18th of 23 on debut last year. Ballydoyle newcomers can make giant strides in their second start so expecting vast improvement given breeding.
Beaten 10½L, 23L and 15L in three starts to date so easy enough to pass over again here.
Promise about his debut sixth at Navan and excellent second next to Ballydoyle Derby trial entrant Gentle Bellini next up over C&D. That form as good as anything on offer here and he therefore has excellent claims.
By fine young sire Kingman; 90,000gns yearling; first foal; dam Canadian maiden from an excellent family. Market support would be informative but otherwise recommend a watching brief.
Cost €75,000 as a yearling and finally went for 55,000 guineas as a two-year-old. Half-brother to French 1m3f winner Site Seeing. Best watched on debut.
By Galileo; first foal; dam 6f-1m2f winner (inc at 2/Group 1). Excellent Flaxman family and therefore must be monitored in the market on debut for respected yard.
Forecasts
Barbados (5/4), Karakhan (2/1), Fresno (8/1), Brogue (10/1), Strongbowe (10/1), Up Helly Aa (14/1), Alakahan (33/1), Made My Day (33/1), Grove Gold (100/1), Construction (100/1), Sharp Focus (100/1), Media City (100/1), Anuas Ar An Bpost (100/1)
There are several promising unexposed sorts and debut makers here but BARBADOSand Karakhan have both gone close recently and ought to take an awful lot of beating based on their respective seconds. Barbados is narrow preference having gone so close although Karakhan met a likely Group horse when second himself. Ballydoyle second string Fresno looks the sort to improve dramatically in his second start, he could hardly have a better pedigree.
- Barbados
- Karakhan
