Curragh Dancer has a decent pedigree but Godolphin's two-year-olds have been slow to come to hand and the son of Grand Lodge is probably best watched with preference for Sofelia, who gets the vote over Grand Opera. The selection hails from the Richard Hannon yard that is doing particularly well with their juveniles at present and with further improvement anticipated he gets the vote. There are several interesting newcomers with Youmzain representing the stable of Mick Channon that has been doing well with their youngsters this term and Mark Johnston's Baileys Encore making most appeal on pedigree. Silent Times showed promise on his debut behind Yasoodd at Ayr and is another worthy of a mention along with Howard Johnson's Hamilton runner-up Grand Opera. Richard Hannon could hardly have his two-year-olds in better form right now and Sofelia gets the vote to give him another winner.
