Caught only late by subsequent Coventry winner in Marble Hill over C&D. Disappointed in the Norfolk but quickly back on track when narrow winner of Naas listed event. Lit up in first-time cheekpieces in the Railway here since and headgear left off now, but has work to do at this level.
|
Mohaather colt who knew his job when winning C&D maiden in June. Struggled in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot 2 weeks later but bounced back with a bang when a clear-cut winner of the Railway Stakes over C&D 3 weeks ago. More to come and leading contender.
|
Blue Point colt who built on debut promise with a wide-margin success in maiden at Gowran. Shaped best when second in Group 3 at Leopardstown since (left with too much to do) but drop back in trip here is a slight concern.
|
St Mark's Basilica colt who showed much-improved form to open his account in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot, getting up late having met trouble along the way. However, was readily brushed aside by the winner in a 3-runner Group 2 at Chantilly the following month.
|
Off the mark at the third attempt in maidens at Listowel but found out in better company since (looks ready for 7f).
|
575,000 gns yearling who came from off the pace to make a winning debut in maiden at Navan. Struggled in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot (geed up beforehand) but firmly back on track when second to Celeron in the Railway Stakes over C&D, though has 3 lengths to make up with the winner here.
|
Confirmed debut promise with a dominant display in C&D maiden and caught only in the final 100 yds in the Albany at Royal Ascot following month. Had no problem with the quick turnaround when resuming ways in a C&D Group 2 6 weeks ago and big shout up against the males here.
|
Sioux Nation filly who made it 2-2 in a 5f listed race here but limitations rather exposed in better company since, running up to her best when third in Group 3 at Ascot 2 weeks ago.

Forecasts
Sun Goddess (6/5), Celeron (11/4), Folsom Blues (15/2), King Of Cloughan (8/1), Velozee (12/1), Carry The Flag (14/1), Tribeca (16/1), The Scallionator (50/1)
This doesn't look a vintage renewal so CELERON is taken to follow up his wide-margin win in the Railway Stakes over C&D. Sun Goddess is the other Group 2 winner in the line-up and she rates the obvious threat for a trainer who has won this a record 17 times.
