Form & Verdict

Derby and Irish Derby entry; 800,000gns Sea The Stars yearling, brother to multiple Group 3 winner Al Aasy (1m2f-1m5f); turned over at odds-on in his two starts last autumn, but gave it a good shot when always-prominent third of ten in blanket finish to a strong novice at Newbury (1m2f, good) on reappearance; the hood worn last time is now removed; top on ratings here and likely to have come on from that run.

Form & Verdict

Sea The Stars colt who cost 550,000gns as a yearling; Dante and Derby entries have gone but he's still in the Irish Derby; that's after his fourth of eight in a strong-looking maiden at Newbury (1m3f, good; 4-1) three weeks ago on second start, in which he saw it out 4l better than Eben Al Khawaneej; major contender, type to improve with his racing.
