Waterloo Sunset is gradually getting the hang of things and Happy should improve on her debut at Haydock. Greystoke finished clear of the third when only beaten a length at Lingfield but this is another two-year-old contest likely to go to a newcomer. Dhushan is by Sea The Stars and a half-brother to a winner in France. He cost 150,000gns but that was less than STAR CALIBER, who is also related to winners and will be expected to start repaying his 200,000gns purchase price sooner rather than later.
