Anatoli has had two runs in barrier trials at Dundalk and won them both. Redbud will improve for her run at Gowran but Skatingonice has been well beaten in both starts. There's likely to be some long faces if NEW YORK CITY can't make a successful debut in this company as he went for 600,000gns at the yearling sales in October after going for 375,000gns as a foal. He's a full-brother to Group 2 winner Invincible Army and has Group 1 and 2 entries. Bantry is by Lope De Vega out of a mare who has produced winners with her first five offspring to race.
