Once again, the market will likely be the best guide to these unraced colts and geldings. Several colours will be familiar to UK racing fans, including those worn by Aurelien Lemaitre on Civilian. However, it’s probably not a good sign that the Highclere Thoroughbred colt sports blinkers on debut. Royaume Uni’s silks are usually seen on Ballydoyle runners but he is trained by Andre Fabre and is a brother to a 1m4f winner in Ireland. The Aga Khan’s SHERAZ is by Sea The Stars and a half-brother to three winners between 1m2f and 1m4f so looks to have the ideal credentials. He gets a tentative vote ahead of Khalid Abdullah’s Frankel colt Woodstock Park and High Tech, who is out of a mare which has produced winners with three of her offspring to so far race. The US-bred Tiger Touch was an expensive purchase so shouldn’t be ignored along with Met Office.
