Verdict
Read To Return and Socialoccasion were engaged in the 6.05 yesterday and Follow The Brave in the 7.45. Path D'oroux went for £105,000 after scoring at Borris House while Spirit Of Legend fetched just £5,000 less after finishing second at Loughbrickland. Ballybay cost £195,000 and is a half-brother to the useful Eskylane while stable companion Follow The Brave, first reserve in the 7.45 yesterday, is a half-brother to three winners. Westcoastinformant is likely to do better over jumps in time but a chance is taken with HALIBUT, the first foal of a winning jumper in France. Mon Coeur is another well-connected type to keep an eye on and Walk In The Dark is related to four winners.
