TWO BIDS cost 375,000gns as a brother to Group 1 winner Integral and a half-brother to four others. The William Haggas-trained colt may well be good enough to make a winning start. Rated 80, Damon Runyon should go close but that was also the case when well beaten in maiden company at Chester last time while Stone Mason floundered in soft going at Carlisle recently having placed at Wetherby earlier. Caen Na Coille showed promise on her debut at Wolverhampton back in February and could figure while Nette Rousse may also get involved if taking part but was due to run at Chepstow yesterday.
