In depth
Verdict
Ragtime Red showed some potential behind Sirici, who has won again, at Dundalk and looks best of those with experience though Moltoir will have benefited greatly from his run at Naas. DECLARATIONOFPEACE cost a whopping $2.6m as a foal and is a half-brother to four winners in the USA including a Grade 1 winner. There will be some long faces if he can't make a successful debut. The market should tell us more about the remainder of the newcomers but Medal of Honour cost €340,000 and is a half-brother to six winners while Shifted Strategy has a speedy pedigree and hails from a yard going well.
