BLACK RUN was sent across to France for his debut and acquitted himself well when finishing third in a conditions race at Deauville. Hampden finished third here in August without threatening the winner but handled the soft ground and can also figure. Anzac Day is a 200,000gns purchase related to four winners while Caprelo can include a Group 2 winner among a host of winning relatives and Games People Play is a half-brother to a Listed winner.
