MOTAFAAWIT and Nayef Road both by-passed a race at Salisbury yesterday to take up this easier option. Richard Hannon’s Intikaab colt is a half-brother to a two-year-old Group 3 winner over this trip so gets the nod as Mark Johnston’s 100,000gns Galileo colt is a brother to a 1m4f winner so may do better next season. Love Your Work only cost 15,000gns and looks nothing special on breeding while Night Closure finished last on debut and was beaten more than 20 lengths.
Love Your Work (IRE) Helmet colt out of Little Italy.
Motafaawit (IRE) Intikhab colt out of Rayaheen.
Nayef Road (IRE) Galileo colt out of Rose Bonheur.
Night Closure 150-1 (9-2) Held up towards rear, hampered when well beaten just inside 2f out, last of 12, 20 1/2l behind True Mason (9-2) at Nottingham 6f stks (5) fm in Jun.
