Sharply-bred colt who hails from a family this yard know well but was too free to do himself justice when last of 8 in maiden at Navan (6f, good, 16/1) on debut 14 days ago.

No Nay Never colt fetched €250,000 as a yearling and showed plenty of ability when second of 6 in minor event at the Curragh (5f, heavy, 5/2) on debut 20 days ago. Sets a high standard.

Bungle Inthejungle colt attracted support but shaped as if needing experience when fifth of 7 in maiden (4/1) at this C&D (good) on debut 12 days ago. Should improve.

€33,000 yearling, Persian Force colt. Clear stable second string on debut in the Brocklesby at Doncaster in March but didn't put up much fight, weakening under 2f out.

Soldier's Call colt showed a little bit more second time up when sixth of 10 in maiden (25/1) at Cork (5f, heavy) 6 days ago but still not enough to make him of immediate interest.

Foaled March 31. £120,000 yearling, Sioux Nation filly. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 5f/6f winner Scream Blue Murder out of useful 1m winner Holly Blue. One to take seriously on debut.

Space Blues filly looked all about speed when sixth of 10 in maiden (25/1) at Cork (5f, heavy) 6 days ago. Place claims with that under her belt.

Forecasts

Carry The Flag (30/100), Sun Goddess (6/1), Woodlawn Lily (15/2), Mr Montauk (16/1), Ocean Club (25/1), Abletai (80/1), Santorini Storm (80/1)

Verdict

CARRY THE FLAG bumped into a smart prospect on debut and on that evidence is above average himself, so should take all the beating second time up. Fellow Ballydoyle representative Sun Goddess may pose the biggest threat on her racecourse bow.
