Starspangledbanner colt. Dam 7f winner. Diligo is the more obvious of the stable's 2 newcomers on pedigree but this one still needs a betting check.

Forecasts

Kepler (5/2), Reynir (10/3), Diligo (4/1), Casamorati (11/2), Power Strike (11/2), Rebel Ascendant (14/1), Starflow (20/1), Goodmenaremissed (40/1)

The betting is likely to be informative but before any market clues are known Aidan O'Brien's KEPLER gets the vote ahead of Diligo and Reynir.
