Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden

Foaled March 20. Dubawi colt. Half-brother to several winners, including very smart 1m (2000 Guineas and including at 2 yrs) winner (stayed 1½m) Saxon Warrior and smart 1m-1¼m winner Drumroll. Dam 2-y-o 6f/7f winner, including Moyglare Stakes. Excellent pedigree and holds Group 1 entries. Respected.

€260,000 yearling. Mehmas colt. Half-brother to smart winner up to 10.7f (stayed 12.5f) Bear Story (2-y-o 1m winner) and 7.7f-1¼m winner (stays 13f) Slieve Bearnagh. Dam 1¼m/10.4f winner (stayed easy 1½m). Group 1 entrant is in very capable hands and needs a close look in the betting first time up.

Frankel colt. Dam, winner up to 8.5f (2-y-o 6f winner), sister to smart 5f-6f winner Sacred Bridge (also successful first time up) and closely related to smart winner up to 1¼m Crossed Baton. Bred to be precocious and no surprise to see him in the shake-up (connections had debut winner last week).

Foaled March 25. €40,000 yearling, Churchill colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 6f winner Pure Circle and 7f winner Spirit of Saxony. In excellent hands but faces some better-calibre rivals on racecourse bow.

Wootton Bassett colt out of connections' British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes winner Hydrangea. Shaped well to finish second behind an experienced stablemate on debut at the Curragh (7f). Expected to improve up in trip and has strong claims to get off the mark.

Foaled February 24. €65,000 yearling, 75,000 gns 2-y-o, Zarak colt. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart 1½m-2½m winner Courage Mon Ami. Looks the pick of Joseph O'Brien's duo on paper (holds Group 1 entries), though will probably come into his own over further.
