Verdict

Paddington, a €420,000 yearling, was sent to Ascot for his debut but missed the break and never got close to the odds-on City Of Kings. Stablemate Carracci is the second foal of a winning two-year-old who produced a 5f winner with her first offspring. Rochester Mile found 6f too short on his debut at Naas but SAVE YOUR LOVE and Dromantine have both had a spin in barrier trials at Dundalk. The former is out of a mare who has produced numerous winners and gets a tentative vote though Joseph O'Brien's pair V Power and Sorrento Point are others to note.
