Verdict
SERGEI PROKOFIEV, a $1.1m son of Scat Daddy, and The Irish Rover, a 150,000gns half-brother to all-weather winner West Palm Beach, represent Ballydoyle and the former can come out best at this stage. Andaleep is the first foal of a smart middle-distance winner and is certain to be suited by further in time as will Wolfofmountstreet, a son of Sir Percy. Scarlet Skis has a very speedy pedigree and should be noted in the market while Skitter Scatter made a promising start here last month and is certain to have come on for the experience.
