Top Brass and Just Fine both showed promise when fourth on their respective debuts here and at Lingfield but Forever Forward was a huge disappointment at Leicester last month having found only one too good over 7f here in July. Castlebar, a €460,000 yearling from a good family, carries Godolphin’s first colours but William Buick prefers the Dubawi colt Siskany. War Thunder is a half-brother to three winners and should pay his way but Andrew Balding and Oisin Murphy teamed up to land this 12 months ago and MARINE could also be a nice prospect. He is by Sea The Stars and cost €450,000 being a half-brother to a winning miler with the scope to do well over further next year.
