Dam a full sister to the useful hurdler Lieutenant Miller, but this one was a bit disappointing on debut at Newton Abbot last month, fading rather quickly. Better effort at Stratford last time but vulnerable to anything with talent once again.
Gelded son of Special Kaldoun that fetched €85,000 as a three-year-old. Half-brother to plenty of winners. Dam was unraced comes from the family of Irish National winner Granit D'estruval. Yard do well in this sphere and key player.
Out of a poor maiden over jumps, whose best efforts were at around 2m4f, and is full-sister to a 3m1f German hurdle/chase winner. Well held on debut and plenty more needed.
Half-sister to five winners from 1m-2m (inc AW) on the Flat. Out of 7f winner. Big price and well held on debut over this C&D. Much more required here.
Forecasts
El Kaldoun (4/9), Colonel Miller (7/2), Millers Bank (8/1), Phoenix River (20/1), Dom Garo Cateline (33/1), Annajemima (50/1)
Those with experience haven't shown much and this looks a cracking opportunity for EL KALDOUN to make a winning start to his career. Annajemima may chase his home with the experience under his belt.
