See Blue

9/4

Foaled April 28. 60,000 gns Blue Point colt. Brother to 7f winner Miakoda and half-brother to useful winner up to 8.4f Tollard Royal. The stable had a winning newcomer over the weekend so a market move would be interesting.

Foaled April 3. €65,000 breeze-up purchase. Daredevil half-sister to 2 minor US winners. Dam, US 7f winner, half-sister to useful US 6f-8.5f winner Kristo. Would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks for her.

Forecasts

I Can Dance (11/10), See Blue (9/4), Brigid's Well (7/2), Upsomdowns (16/1), Cixi (18/1), Glenna (20/1), Tales Old As Time (28/1), Captain Cairney (50/1), Virtue Diligence (125/1), Make It Up (150/1), Mister Pretentious (200/1), Impossible Mission (300/1)

I CAN DANCE sets a decent standard for a race like this on his pair of runner-up efforts in recent weeks. Brigid's Well has a 5 lb penalty for her Thirsk win but is still feared most ahead of Tales Old As Time. See Blue and Cixi are newcomers to monitor in the betting.
