HOMME D'UN SOIR is bred for the Flat being out of a winning miler. The ground is drying out so he should have too much pace for these. Light Brigade is out of a mare who has produced winners with all five offspring to race, including two bumpers. Any serious money for him should be noted while Quite Incredible is a half-brother to two winning bumpers. Barry O'Neill should also get a tune out of Miss Seery, a full-sister to a winning miler and out of a 1m1f winner.
