Kodiac half-brother to 7f winner Scarfo. Dam unraced out of useful sprinter Miss Anabaa. Made an encouraging start when second to a promising Ballydoyle colt (just denied by Lars Soldier previously) at Naas (6f), clear of rest. Will improve but does have plenty to find.

No Nay Never colt who fetched €250,000 as a yearling and showed plenty of ability when second here (5f) on debut but made heavy weather of landing skinny odds at Naas 2 weeks ago. Moore prefers Great Barrier Reef.

Foaled January 9. No Nay Never colt. Brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 9f Mystery Power. Dam 1½m-13f winner. Backed as if defeat was out of the question and delivered in the style of a potentially smart juvenile when forging clear in C&D maiden 5 weeks ago. Obvious claims.

€43,000Y, resold €100,000Y. Persian Force colt. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to useful 7.7f-1½m winner (stayed 1¾m) Caliburn. Landed a significant gamble when proving ½ length too good for Otherworldly in C&D maiden 3 weeks ago. Respected.

Fetched just €3,500 as a yearling but he's bred to be precocious and put experience to good use when holding off a pair of subsequent winners in 5f maiden here 7 weeks ago. Others have more potential, though,

Half-brother to smart 1m/8.3f winner Ghaly and 6f/7f winner Haasim. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to top-class winner up to 10.4f Giant's Causeway. Promising start when ½-length second to Immortal Guard in C&D maiden 3 weeks ago, never nearer after missing the break. Will improve.

€12,000 yearling, Earthlight filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 9.5f winner Kardinya and 2-y-o 1m winner Blodreina. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Khor Dubai. Badly in need of the run when remote third in Dundalk maiden and firmly up against it here.

Forecasts

Great Barrier Reef (8/15), Edward Thatch (9/2), Carry The Flag (5/1), Otherworldly (7/1), Immortal Guard (11/1), Alaskan Bear (14/1), Lars Soldier (33/1), Brazilian Diva (300/1)

Verdict

EDWARD THATCH confirmed debut promise in no uncertain terms when making all in a Cork maiden and could be the value call up against Great Barrier Reef, who tops the market for the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot after his easy debut success here 5 weeks ago.
