In depth

Verdict

LAND FORCE, a half-brother to a Grade 1 winner in the USA, looked in need of experience on his debut at Naas and should have come on enough to take this unless there is something decent among the newcomers. Biltmore cost 110,000gns and is out of a mare who has produced winners with her first four foals to race while Indigo Balance is related to several smart winners and should have plenty of pace, as should Vocatus. Wargrave is by Galileo out of a very speedy mare so he may provide the main threat.
