Phoenix Stakes winner, Sudirman was regrettably unable to show his form in the Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket and David Wachman responds by putting headgear on his colt for the first time. Former American performer, Due Diligence scored at the second time of asking for Aidan O'Brien and is probably capable of more although we will turn to SEAS OF WELLS on this occasion. Plenty was anticipated of John Oxx's filly ahead of her debut at the Curragh and she duly delivered. This will be a big leap up in class, but a valuable weight allowance from the colts makes it an entirely feasible proposition. Sailors Swan caught the eye on debut and confirmed that impression with a ready success at Navan. Shining Emerald was a Listed winner last term and connections try a drop in trip and the application of blinkers in an attempt to get him back to where he was.
