By far the more competitive of the two divisions, with NOTHING TO SEA (NAP) making most appeal. The Sea The Moon gelding made a pleasing debut in mid-September when runner-up to a Godolphin colt and the form looks solid. We Could Be Heroes has every chance on his first two useful juvenile efforts, although he did disappoint a little next time on the all-weather. However, the booking of Buick suggests all is well and he's a leading player. Peace Man probably needs to better his two efforts to date, but Lunatick is definitely of interest after showing distinct promise on his two all-weather starts and Murphy is booked. And keep a market eye on Baltic, a son of Frankel, on debut.
