Verdict

Hailstone is bred to be speedy but has looked a bit one-paced over 7f while High Altitude was a 66/1 chance on his opening run over this track and trip though did better than his SP suggested he would. Birds Of Prey finished a good third in that latter event after attempting to make all and he's likely to make further progress. Catch A Wave attracted good support over 6f at Navan in May but hasn't raced since and takes a step-up in trip. WINGS OF EAGLES was easy to back at Galway and didn't show much but like many of his stable companions he is likely to improve dramatically for the experience and can take this for Ballydoyle, who also run the 475,000gns son of Excelebration Perfect Storm, who is out of a winning miler.
