Verdict

Plenty of these look longer-term projects but CHOCTAW NATION shaped promisingly behind one who set a tall standard for a maiden on debut at Navan 25 days ago. Beating the rest handsomely himself on that occasion, he's clearly another above-average Ballydoyle colt and rates the one to beat with improvement forthcoming. Book of Kells and State of Play are a couple of likely newcomers before betting clues, with Cracks and Sparks and Adversity completing the shortlist.
