9/2
Nicely bred colt who cost 70,000 euros as a yearling; dwelt on debut but was making eye catching progress in the closing stages at the Curragh last week; should improve but possibly not have enough quality to land this.

Beautiful pedigree being a War Front colt out of 2018 Epsom Oaks winner Forever Together; only did enough to win on debut at Naas two weeks ago but will be better for that outing and looks the one they have to beat.

Colt by Shalaa out of a Bertolini mare; cost 70.000gns as a yearling; off the bridle early but showed a little bit of class to win at Fairyhouse last month; well thought of and has an excellent chance of keeping his 100 per cent record.

Zoffany filly who cost €8,000 as a yearling; another who was doing her best work in the closing strages of her debut run at Leopardstown in June; should be more professional here and should go well.

Forecasts

Military Style (4/9), Arctician (9/2), Shalaalaa (13/2), Minaun (9/1)

Verdict

MILITARY STYLE was very professional on his racecourse debut at Naas in June and has the physique and breeding to go onto better things than this. The only slight concern is the trip with the colt likely to be suited by much further in time. Shalaalaa won well at Fairyhouse on her only start coming off the bridle early but doing nothing wrong in the closing stages. If improving again he should give the selection most to do. Minaun got the hang of things in the closing stages of her debut run at Leopardstown last month and should be able to improve again with that experience under her belt.
