A couple of these are a cut above the rest. Shark Two One landed a valuable sales race on a trip over to the Curragh last month but was well beaten in the Two-Year-Old Trophy here last time. SPYCATCHER wasn’t at his best either in Listed company at Doncaster last time but had earlier gone close in the Group 3 Acomb Stakes at York. Rated 104, Karl Burke’s colt is the one to beat if handling today’s going. Cleveleys and Maison de York look best of the remainder unless the 280,000gns newcomer Bannow proves well above average.
