In depth
Verdict
Goldmile made a bright start in what looked a strong maiden here at the beginning of the month though this looks equally tough. Sarcastic is out of a 1m1f winner and will need further in time but Pub Talk and Lady Tilbury are speedily-bred. TIGER PAW is by Coolmore's new stallion Sioux Nation, whose first runner won at the Curragh last month. She cost €160,000 as a yearling and will be expected to start earning her keep. Maidstone, by U S Navy Flag, is out of a mare who has produced winners with her first two offspring.
