Seminole can pick up this pot with Zacinto and Millharbour the nominated alternatives. The selection has reportedly come on plenty for HIS first outing and although some may be put off by the headgear; we are confident his trainer is acting very much in the interest of his charge. Zacinto will be partnered by Ryan Moore and his dam is a half-sister to Many Volumes, so the colt could be anything. Millharbour is bred to be better with further and while Barry Hills' juveniles have hardly carried all before them this term, this colt does hold an entry in the National Stakes at The Curragh. Appraisal hails from a yard that have enjoyed particular success in this contest in the past. It is unusual to see Paul Cole having two runners in a maiden and Mons Calpe, although unplaced on debut, was not unsupported at fair odds so any market move should be noted here. Sixties Swinger was one of the more expensive through the sales ring and will come into his own next season. Granski similarly holds a Derby entry. This is a race very much for the video as there will be plenty of future winners on view. SEMINOLE is our idea of the most likely on this occasion.
