Third foal; brother to US 5.5f turf winner Walt Whitman, half-brother to US 6.5f turf winner Ma France; dam 7f 2yo winner (RPR 92), half-sister to a pair of useful winning 2yos; cost 75,000gns as a yearling; by a leading young sire whose progeny often handle soft ground; 4th in a Naas Barrier Trial in May; check for market strength.

Form & Verdict

By the great Galileo and from a smart damline; was the stable's second-string on Curragh debut but ran respectably after stumbling early and being hampered late; the winner that day was since 3rd in a Group 2; should have improved for that and go close once handling this ground.

Form & Verdict

Fifth foal; brother to two useful middle-distance winners Modus Operandi (Irish 1m2f turf/US 1m4f AW, RPR 104) and Spectacular Style (1m4f; 90); dam stakes-placed 1m2f/1m4f winner (92), half-sister to 2,000 Guineas/King George winner Golan; by the mighty Frankel and cost 800,000gns as a yearling; seems powerful yard's first-string and highly respected.
