Useful colt. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Naas in July. 5¾ lengths fifth of 8 to Bow Echo in Royal Lodge Stakes (3/1) at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Warrants respect.

Yaupon De Replay²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: J P O'Brien

6/1

Off the mark at first time of asking in 12-runner listed race (20/1) at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Likely more to come yet and is a leading contender.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Daytona (6/4), Dorset (13/8), Yaupon De Replay (6/1), Spangled Sands (8/1), Mumhan (14/1)

This can go to YAUPON DE REPLAY, who showed a good attitude when making a winning debut at Fairyhouse last month and can be expected to progress from that. Dorset upped his game when scoring at the Curragh 3 weeks ago and is feared most.
