close up, pushed along 2f out, ridden and kept on inside final furlong, no match for first two
always towards rear, never dangerous
prominent early, shaken up over 3f out, soon ridden and no extra, faded from over 1f out
JOHN CHARD VC has the form in the book with a couple of promising efforts at Newbury and should be in the mix once again. He’s preferred to Miyagi and the Godolphin colt Al Wasl Dream but several of the newcomers are worth a close look. You Saw Brigadoon is a €260,000 Kingman colt while Kolsai’s dam is related to the high-class Izzi Top and early Derby entry Falcon Nine is a half-brother to a Group 1 winner among others.
