Gold Arch⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S Donohoe| T: D R Lanigan

40/1

35,000 gns Archipenko colt. Dam won over 2m and the way he has shaped in both starts to date suggest he is going to need further than this in time.

Form: 07

25/1

By Toronado out of a temperamental maiden, herself out of Prestige Stakes (7f Group 3) winner Geminiani. Started slowly on debut and never involved but should know more this time around.

Half-brother to four middle distance winners, out of a middle distance winner. Pulled hard on debut but ran all the way to the line to be fifth at Leicester. Needs to settle better.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: W R Muir

Cheap purchase and pedigree is outshone by a few of the others. Big price but ran with credit on debut at Kempton when fading late on. Should come on for that.
