Foaled April 8. €100,000 foal, 95,000 gns yearling, Kodiac colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Scarfo. Dam unraced out of useful 5f/6f winner Miss Anabaa. Yard can ready a newcomer.

£120,000 yearling, Mehmas colt. Showed plenty to work in when third in a 5f Curragh maiden on debut in March but didn't really see 6f out as well as expected there next time. Place claims again.

No Nay Never gelding. 1,700,000 gns yearling. Plenty to like about him on paper and probably would've won had he not had to sidestep a weakening rival when beaten just a nose in a 5f maiden at the Curragh (heavy) on debut. Hard to see him not going one better.

Sioux Nation colt, 150,000 gns yearling. Brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 1m winner Lakota Seven. Catches the eye on paper and worth betting check on debut.

Invincible Army colt who is bred to make a speedy 2-y-o but completely blew the start and was always behind in an 8-runner maiden at the Curragh (5f, heavy) on debut 36 days ago.

Foaled March 6. No Nay Never filly. Half-sister to useful 7.4f/1m winner Nation's Call and 6f-1m winner Man of Worth. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner). Yard's first 2-y-o runner of the season.

Forecasts

Confucius (1/5), Selwyn (7/1), Alaskan Bear (12/1), Bull Shark (14/1), Luca Brillante (33/1), Give Me Liberty (66/1), Two Brigade (80/1)

Verdict

CONFUCIUS cost plenty as a yearling and shaped best when a close second at the Curragh on debut, so looks very hard to oppose. Bull Shark might be best of the rest ahead of the Ger Lyons-trained newcomer Selwyn.
