X RATED is likely to prove popular among these newcomers given Mark Johnston’s colt is a half-brother to high-class stablemate and Cheveley Park Stakes heroine Lumiere. He has no fancy entries as yet but Bamber Bridge is in a couple of valuable sales races and is another to consider given he’s a half-brother to a Listed winner. Hee Haw is related to six winners and worth a second glance while Prancing Oscar makes most appeal of the remainder on breeding.
