2/7

Cost 800,000 gns as a yearling and is a promising type. Won 6-runner novice at Haydock (6f, good, 4/6) 12 days ago. Much improved there and more to come still from this Group 1 entry.

125/1

From a fantastic sprinting family the yard know so well (includes The Tin Man and Deacon Blues) but little immediate promise when eighth of 10 in novice at Salisbury (6f, soft, 14/1) on debut 18 days ago.

Forecasts

Division (2/7), Shahik (5/1), King Of Chaos (12/1), Fine Art Dealer (14/1), Ballybunion (20/1), Lifeguard (28/1), My Shagaf (33/1), Obsidian Verse (125/1), Superstorm (150/1)

Hard to see past DIVISION who won in good style at Haydock and could be smart. The two newcomers Ballybunion and My Shagaf are interesting on paper.
