Unraced daughter of Kyllachy fetched €34,000 as a yearling last September. Dam won over 6f and 7f and she is an interesting runner with blinkers worn on debut.

Unraced daughter of Daaher bought for 11,000 gns at the sales in May. Market support would be notable on racecourse debut.

Forecasts

Cottonopolis (11/8), The Blue Bower (3/1), Moorland Spirit (10/3), Anna Of Sussex (7/1), Scallywagtail (12/1), Koovers (16/1), Positive Light (20/1), Joanna Vassa (50/1)

Verdict

COTTONOPOLIS hails from a top yard and he is taken to get off the mark at the first time of asking in this maiden auction contest. The selection has a good jockey in the saddle and can see off the more experienced locally-trained runner The Blue Bower who can get the better of the unraced Moorland Spirit in the battle for third.
  1. Cottonopolis
  2. The Blue Bower
  3. Moorland Spirit
