Copal is by Dark Angel and a half-brother to Group 3 winner Monarchs Glen among others. Senza Limiti was a 100,000gns yearling and is another newcomer worth considering along with £82,000 purchase Hermocrates and Nassam, brother to a winning miler and a half-brother to four others. But Roger Varian sent out last year’s winner and will have been more than satisfied with the first run of MONSIEUR NOIR (NAP) in a Doncaster maiden last month which is shaping up to be an informative contest. Frederickbarbarosa will no doubt improve on his first run at Yarmouth, where he was easy to back, but Hawridge Storm’s fourth at Ffos Las may have flattered him.
