WHITECLIFFSOFDOVER cost an incredible $1.15m yet wasn't even his stable's number one when making his debut at the Curragh. He stayed on very nicely over that 6f behind Intelligence Cross and with big-race entries he's obviously well regarded. North Carolina also represents Ballydoyle and the full-brother to the useful Sword Fighter is definitely one to keep an eye on. Beast made a very promising start behind Arcada in a strong maiden at the Curragh and will ensure the O'Brien pair don't have things their own way while Frankel's son Lightening Fast was very well supported in that latter event and will be expected to do much better.
