    Toppy <ok> I can remember them thinking he would do well last year but as you say he obviously met a set back. Suppose they want to understand what sort of beast they have on their hands and might be looking to target one of those big summer handicap hurdles with him? Seems sensible to start him here rather than 2 miles on heavy at Chepstown in November. Shame the Ferguson horse doesn't run, would've been a decent yardstick, Kings Destiny 4/6 now.

    The 4.10 at Naas should be a good contest. Dawn Appraoch has looked one of the best 2yos so far but the Watchman horse will be no pushover and it is very interesting that O'Brien starts one off in listed company. Small dabble on PEDRO THE GREAT 6/1

    RV whilst I think Dawn Approach has been impressive, we have yet to see any other big guns released by the top yards yet and I think sooner or later she will be a laying opportunity. I'd rather have a small flutter on O'Briens half brother to Footstepsinthesand that is sired by Henrythenavigator, because I think HTN will be a really good juvenile sire, than go 8/13 Dawn Approach.

    Look out for Jamesies run at Naas here. He was a major eyecatcher at Chester when having a poor start and I also saw him running on Irish 2000 Guineas day where he ran out of room having looked ready to strike. Wonder if he is still in good enough form to make amends?

    I heard Dawn Approach might be useful, but I always support Ballydoyle as a default rule.

    Nice place money Yorkies - backed that one a few times over the sticks but he's a bit in-and-out.

    Christ this Bolger horse is short - 4/9 now <yikes>

    Watchman horse didn't go though. He wasn't that impressive there. Several quicker 2yos than him he will not be winning at Ascot. Hannon has at least 2 better than Mister Marc.
