First Defence colt out of an Oasis Dream mare. Dam French 7f 2yo winner, half-sister to 1m4f Listed winner Barsanti and to the dam of US 8.5f-1m1f Grade 1 winner Close Hatches. Comfortable winner on debut at Naas 2¾L ahead of Harpocrates.
Colt by Gleneagles out of an Invincible Spirit mare. Closely related to 7f, two-year-old winner I Remember You. Appears the outsider of three from leading connections.
€105,000 yearling. Half-sister to juvenile 5f/6f winner K Club. Dam, maiden (stayed 7f), half-sister to useful US 7f/1m winner Casper's Touch. Tidy winner of a Navan maiden on debut last month but more sterner opposition here.
Forecasts
Siskin (11/8), King Neptune (3/1), Harpocrates (3/1), Back To Brussels (8/1), Southern Hills (12/1)
The Ger Lyons-trained SISKIN can confirm placings with Harpocrates of their debut clash at Naas earlier this month over this trip. The colt by US Group 1 winner, First Defence can continue his development holding off the possible attentions of King Neptune and Back To Brussels.
