The betting will offer clues but MEPHISTO is a half-brother to no less than six winners and Ralph Beckett’s colt gets a speculative vote to make a winning start. Star Of Wells and Kameko have entries in next year’s Derby while No Show is related to several winners and preferred to stablemate and gelding Jack Ruby. Unresolved is the first foal of a Listed winner and preferred to It's Good To Laugh while Kentucky Hardboot was well beaten at Ascot on his debut.
It's Good To Laugh (IRE) Tamayuz colt out of London Plane.
Jack Ruby (IRE) Havana Gold gelding out of Make Me Blush.
Kameko (USA) Kitten's Joy colt out of Sweeter Still.
Kentucky Hardboot (IRE) 16-1 (9-5) Soon outpaced in rear, never a factor, 7th of 12, 11 1/4l behind Kingbrook (9-5) at Ascot 7f stks (3) gf in Jul.
Mephisto (IRE) Kendargent colt out of Save Me The Waltz.
No Show (IRE) Showcasing colt out of Innocent Air.
