WEMBLEY, a full-brother to four smart winners including Johannes Vermeer, had Mac Swiney and Snowy Owl behind when a close third to stable companion Hudson River here last month and should have made enough progress to take this. Colour Sergeant was a very expensive purchase and started odds-on for his debut over 6f at Fairyhouse but didn't quite get the run of the race and had to settle for third behind stablemate Shalaalaa. HMS Seahorse, a stable companion of the selection, is by Galileo out of a mare who has produced winners with her first two foals including Group 2 winner Armory. Dermot Weld has struck top form and Erzindjan should be ideally suited by this trip while both Cold Steel and Kalaroun are worth a market check.
