Hectic has a lot more to do here than making a winning debut at Newbury while Shaquille’s course and distance victory has not been franked. Chaldean, a 550,000gns half-brother to several winners, got off the mark upped to this trip at Newbury and further progress is likely while Mill Stream ran well at Newmarket after making a winning start at Doncaster. Backed into odds-on, INDESTRUCTIBLE was very impressive when getting off the mark at Windsor and Michael O’Callaghan expects him to handle this step up in class. Local Dynasty could be anything after winning by more than three lengths at HQ. He has entries in both the Royal Lodge and the Dewhurst so is much respected. Oviedo beat a subsequent winner at Doncaster and could outrun bigger odds.
