ANDAB fetched 290,000 gns as a yearling and this brother to smart 2-y-o winner Victoria Road is certainly bred to make his mark a juvenile. Interest in this colt will heighten if the market speaks in his favour. Neolithic is also very appealing given his powerful connections, while the selection's stablemate Substance, Enthusiastically (seemingly the Donnacha O'Brien first-string judged on jockey bookings) and Rapide Vega, who represents last year's winning yard, are others to consider.
