A 725,000gns purchase, Missile will no doubt attract attention as the second foal of Group 1 winner Ribbons. But WOOTTON CREEK sets a decent standard and could prove the one to beat. The latter was no match for the unbeaten subsequent Group 3 winner Saffron Beach when second at Newmarket but finished in front of a future maiden winner and should go close if handling the soft going. Salisbury third Noon Star looks a likely improver along with Our New Buddy while Ocean Road is another newcomer to keep an eye on as a half-sister to five winners including Grade 1 winner Wigmore Hall.
