Benvenuto Cellini¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien

2/5

Outstanding pedigree and shaped with plenty of encouragement when second of 13 in maiden (11/2) at the Curragh (7f, good) on debut 16 days ago, only beaten by a well-regarded stablemate with an experience edge. Holds a Group 1 entry and plenty to like about his chances stepped up to 1m.

Form: 2

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Coen| T: R P Cody

200/1

250/1

Forecasts

Benvenuto Cellini (2/5), Bond (4/1), Ipanema Beach (8/1), Endorsement (10/1), Limestone (14/1), Hardy Warrior (40/1), Monvoe (200/1), Sceitimini (250/1)

BENVENUTO CELLINI makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and shaped encouragingly when chasing home a well-regarded stablemate on debut. He holds a Group 1 entry and can get off the mark at the expense of Ipanema Beach, who has shown steady improvement in maidens, while expensive purchase Bond (also entered in the Group 1 National Stakes) is an interesting newcomer for the Paddy Twomey yard.
