The well-bred BOCCACCHIO, an 850,000 gns son of the mighty Dubawi, stands out as the most interesting newcomer and represents a yard that has hit the ground running with its juveniles this year. The colt doesn't have any fancy entries but can certainly go on from here. Al Namir is a half-brother to a couple of precocious types and looks the pick of Richard Hannon's pair, while Herman Hesse makes more appeal than is stable mate Mass Media and can fly the flag for the John Gosden yard. Dramatic Sands also represents a yard in form and is worth noting with an eye on the future.
