Formscan By Dan McEvoy - %0AMAN'S BEST FRIEND (4) sets the standard on the strength of his fourth on Irish Derby Day, which has already been boosted by Superlative Stakes runner-up and impressive maiden winner Haffner. This No Nay Never colt was learning throughout that debut run and finished off encouragingly, while entries in the Phoenix Stakes and the Futurity Trophy underline his reputation. New Bond Street was strongly supported on debut%3B however, she failed to deliver after breaking slowly and showing signs of greenness. The 200,000gns breeze-up is sure to come forward for that experience, and the initial confidence may be vindicated. Anglesea Bridge was also slowly away and green on debut, but he should improve and has a place chance. Market support would be significant for debutant Muscogee Nation, with Dylan Browne McMonagle an eye-catching booking for Michael O'Callaghan.
