        Verdict

        Reidh went for €145,000 at last year's May Breeze-up and his pedigree suggests he should do better in his second season. Farhhfromforgotten produced two decent efforts on fast going and today's ground could be more to his liking while Nine Six Five was very green at Catterick and should have come on markedly. Songwriter is related to winners but the one who catches the eye on breeding is LAOISMAN. He cost a mammoth 375,000gns at the Tatts October Sales in 2021 and the half-brother to two winners is taken to start repaying some of the outlay. Queensland Boy is related to four winners but will probably do better over further.
