Et Toi and New Hope have similar form having both faded in the closing stages over 7f at Sandown and Ayr respectively on their latest starts. But they come up against a potentially smart newcomer here in FOUNDATION, a half-brother to three winners with a string of fancy entries including the Group 1 Dewhurst. The other debutants are no back numbers either with the 100,000gns yearling Altarsheed and Gambit, entered in the Tattersalls Millions Trophy, preferred to Colour Me Happy.
Altarsheed (IRE) Lilbourne Lad colt out of Lilakiya.
Colour Me Happy Poet's Voice colt out of Za Za Zoom.
Foundation (IRE) Zoffany colt out of Roystonea.
Gambit New Approach colt out of Sospel.
Indulgent Makfi colt out of Santa Agata.
New Hope (IRE) 15-2 (9-5) Chased winner, ridden over 2f out, lost 2nd just over 1f out, one pace inside final furlong, lost 3rd towards finish, 4th of 10, 3l behind Dutch Heiress (9-0) at Ayr 7f mdn stks (4) gs in Jul.
Et Toi (IRE) 7-1 (9-5) Tracked winner, ridden 2f out, kept on one pace and lost 2nd inside final furlong, 3rd of 9, 2 3/4l behind Cymric (9-5) at Sandown 7f mdn stks (5) gf in Jul.
