Verdict
The market should prove the best guide and it will be a surprise if there isn't support for GRECIAN TIGER. He's out of a mare who won several times in Listed class on the Flat and hails from the family of North Light and Golan. He's taken to make a winning debut though any money for Seven Nation Army should be noted. The son of Rock Of Gibraltar is a half-brother to five winners and Nina Carberry is a very positive booking. Patrick Mullins is on board Wakanda though his mount should do better when tackling a set of hurdles. Dawerann is superbly bred for the Flat and should have plenty of pace while Totally Dominant cost 100,000 euros as a yearling as is a half-brother to three winners.
