Dermot Weld is having a tremendous campaign and the 190,000gns Britannia Kitten is out of a mare who produced a winner with her first offspring to race. Gibson Desert is by Australia and a half-brother to two 6f winners so should have no problems with this trip while Mohican Heights is by the same sire and is related to numerous winners though mostly over further. King Arthurs Sword cost E100,000 and looks a nice prospect for later in the campaign but Aidan O'Brien has three entries. Masteroffoxhounds is by War Front and the first foal of a Listed winner while WAR LEADER, another War Front colt, is a full-brother to Group 1 winner Lancaster Bomber and a half-brother to the top-class Excelebration. He's handed the vote with Donnacha on board though Toronto is a half-brother to the brilliant Canford Cliffs and three other winners.
