O'REILLY had little chance with a smart Aidan O'Brien prospect (leading fancy for the Ballysax Stakes) on his sole 2-y-o outing in October, but he emerged with a lot of credit in finishing second and there's more to come. HMS Seahorse failed to land the odds a fortnight ago but he's bred to be smart and commands serious respect. Corps des Pages could be the pick of the newcomers.
