In depth

Verdict

Four runners for Aidan O'Brien here, all showing moderate two-year-old form but certain to make progress. Seamie Heffernan rides the twice-raced Snow and the daughter of Galileo found a mile too sharp in two runs last season. Dermot Weld is double-handed and FLORENCE CAMILLE looked a very nice prospect when narrowly beaten into third at Cork in August. A daughter of Galileo out of a Grade 1 winner, she can start paying her way here. St Clerans will appreciate stepping up in trip as she's a daughter of Golden Horn out of a Park Hill winner while Sagrada Familia is another Golden Horn filly and a half-sister to four winners. Kalayena has an excellent middle-distance pedigree and is one for the future.
