Well-bred No Nay Never colt who showed promise on debut when third at Doncaster over 5f on good ground in April before finishing a dismal last of 15 on his final start for trainer William Jarvis. Has plenty to prove on stable debut.
Siyouni colt, cost €130,000 as a foal and 200,000 gns as a yearling. Can be expected to improve on debut run at Naas and on a promising start at Bellewstown last month finishing second of six over this trip on good ground.
Kodiac colt. Price rose from €15,000 as a foal to €57,000 as a yearling. Led in the early stages on debut run at Down Royal last month eventually weakening to finish fourth of seven beaten over 5L. More needed.
Gallant second of 25 beaten 1½L in the Group 3 Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot in June before disappointing at Newmarket last month. Course experience and very much merits respect in this company.
By Bold And Flashy out of a Montjeu mare. Dam 7f-1m4f winner, including an Irish Oaks. Promising debut was followed by being found out in the Group 2 Queen Mary at the Royal meeting when last seen in June. Better than that performance suggests.
Forecasts
Celtic Beauty (1/1), Love Bracelet (9/4), American Lady (7/1), Phase After Phase (8/1), Galactic Glow (14/1), True Motion (20/1), Not Now Zeb (33/1)
CELTIC BEAUTY found the Group 2 Duchess Of Cambridge at Newmarket a step too far but the daughter of No Nay Never should be able to see off his rivals in this contest. The filly can get off the mark at the fifth time of asking at the expense of the Fozzy Stack-trained American Lady and daughter of War Front, Love Bracelet for the Aidan O'Brien yard.
