Impactful made a decent debut at Leopardstown in July and was well supported at Galway a few days later but didn't show the expected progress. He's been gelded, however, and better is expected. FLAG OF HONOUR is by Galileo out of a mare who has produced winners with her first 11 foals to race. Aidan O'Brien's colt didn't get the run of the race on his debut over the course and distance so, with more to come, can take this though his stable also have two newcomers engaged. Conclusion is by Deep Impact out of a Group 3 winner over 6f while Kenya is by Galileo and related to a host of winners, mostly at around this trip. Dermot Weld's Jewel Maker is a superbly-bred colt who is one to keep an eye on for the future.
