Verdict
Jalaybee was no match for Democracy at the Curragh then found the minimum too sharp at Naas and is looking a bit exposed despite just two runs. Excel In Space attempted to make all over 5f at Dundalk and fought back when headed a furlong out, though the winner was well beaten at Chester on Wednesday. Battle Cry is by No Nay Never out of a mare who won from 7f to 1m6f including in Listed company. Stablemate Battle Fleet cost €210,000 and is related to two winning juveniles in France. GENERAL ASSEMBLY has a very speedy pedigree being a half-brother to three winners and out of a mare who won over this trip as a two-year-old so may be good enough to make a successful debut. Givemethebeatboys is out of a middle-distance winner but Zelestial is a half-sister to a 7f two-year-old winner.
