Blue Prince⁷⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| BF

10/1

Highly promising sort who shaped very well when fifth of 8 in minor event (7/4) at Musselburgh (5f, soft) on debut 74 days ago, hampered 1f out then running on strongly. This son of Blue Point is open to significant improvement. Big player.

Form: 5

BLUE PRINCE made a highly encouraging debut when a strong-finishing fifth at Musselburgh and with lots of improvement on the cards Richard Fahey's Blue Point colt looks the way to go. Newcomers Nariko and Blue Force are both in very good hands and catch the eye on paper so merit lots of respect, especially if the market vibes are positive.
