FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Dermot Weld might train his first winner for 'the lads' from Coolmore with BRIGHT EYED. A very well bred type, (her dam won an American Grade 1), she has shown enough ability to suggest she can win her maiden and being by Galileo, there is every reason to believe she can improve for this step up to 1m4f. She holds Cj Cregg, Watchman and Prize Winner on a recent meeting on January 4 and, on a line through Cj Cregg also holds a approximate 3.75L edge over Black Noah, who was 0.5L ahead of that runner on December 19. Black Noah is himself useful and looks a danger but is also at a disadvantage as BRIGHT EYED is now 3lbs claimer ridden. Machiavelli was a useful sort last summer and looks a nice recruit for new connections but is possibly best watched on reappearance while an identical comment applies to stablemate With A Start (picked up for just 6,000gns in October). Mokhles was bought for GBP9,500 in October having been a Godolphin cast-off and is interesting on debut but is also possibly best watched on his reappearance run.

For four yrs old and upwards, maidens at starting
