Showed promise on debut when 4L third at Beverley last month. Failed to build on that when stepped up to 6f on faster ground last time. Drop back in trip positive for now and he is not ruled out of the money.
€15,000 yearling, £18,000 2yo. Third foal. Half-brother to winners Saint Equiano (6f-7f inc at 2/Fibresand) and Keycountry (Italian 1m1f). Dam unraced half-sister to useful 7f winner Glenglade. Stable not had a 2yo winner for over five seasons.
€1,500 foal, €3,500 yearling. First foal. Dam tailed off only start, half-sister to 7f Listed winner Tora Bora and fairly useful 7f winner Chorus Of Angels. Stable in good form so market check suggested.
28-1 and ran reasonably well after being slow to get going on debut at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) last week. If this doesn't come too soon, then he can build on that and should be able to make an impact.
€10,000 yearling, €20,000 juvenile. First foal from an unraced dam who was a half-sister to the 7f-7½f winner Peak Princess. Taken out due to unsuitably soft ground at Ripon on intended debut. Probably one to watch.
Made a bit of improvement on her second start at Hamilton (5f, good) last time. More needed, but represents a top yard and no surprise to see her get more closely involved.
ASMUND looks to have a good opportunity to get off the mark at the second time of asking, after a very good debut effort in the context of this race. Pearlwood could be the one to chase him home, while Dancinginthesand and Auckland Lodge are others with prize money claims.
