Form & Verdict

Starspangledbanner half-brother to winners Seagolazo (7f 2yo; RPR 97) and Zephina (6f AW 2yo; 76); unraced dam closely related to 1m1f winner Parvana, half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Mehmas; National Stakes entry has to be worth a market watch.

Acclamation colt a 75,000euros foal and 185,000gns yearling; second foal; dam 8.4f winner (RPR 86), half-sister to French 1m2f Listed winner Three Bodies, from family of Italian 1,000 Guineas winner Erin Bird; fourth in Naas barrier trial in May; likely stable-second string here.

Form & Verdict

Awtaad colt; 42,000euros yearling; second foal; dam twice-raced half-sister to Listed winners Daktani (1m 2yo), Diatribe (6f/7f) and Diaphora (1m); fourth in Naas barrier trial before successful track debut in 7f Leopardstown auction event last month, overcoming traffic problems to get up on post (second narrowly beaten again since); extra 1f to suit and National Stakes entry should take plenty of beating if handling softer ground.
