Although Natural Force lacks experience, his pedigree makes this half-brother to Moss Vale hard to ignore for his debut. Jeremy is an expensive purchase that also makes appeal as one to bear in mind if supported, while My was not given a hard time on her introduction at Newbury last month and she may prove to be the best of those that have raced previously. However, the last named is likely to improve as she is stepped up in trip and this may be best viewed as part of her learning curve today. The same can be said of Jeremy, whose perceptive trainer is noted for his patience with his two-year-olds. Therefore, this appears to be a straightforward opening for Natural Force now that Godolphin have got their house in order.
