Verdict
Not a lot to go on as far as formbook analysis but Beau Michel, Precision Profile and Ace of Clubs look the more likelier types and we are with Beau Michel. The full brother to Marcus Du Berlais cost plenty at the sales and while 2500 is a mere drop in the ocean - connections have had to start somewhere. Precision Profile's distant relatives include Badsworth Boy. If there is any of that ability in his genes - it will be very interesting indeed Ace Of Clubs is a relatively cheap son of Supreme Leader. The market is best watched. Viking Wharf was well held in a recent point-to-point while Sashenka is one who is bred on much more flat-bred, rather than National Hunt led, lines. Once again, the market is watched for clues but Beau Michel has all the right ticks in the boxes.
