FormscanBy Alan Magee - THE OLD NINE showed plenty of promise on both outings over course and distance last month and the half-brother to five winners, who cost 360,000 guineas as a yearling, can open his account at the third attempt. The son of No Nay Never showed signs of greenness on debut before beating all bar favourite Taraj last time. Raknah may prove the chief threat. She was placed for Andrew Balding on the all-weather at Kempton and, after being thrown in the deep end on her Irish debut in the Goffs Million, has shaped well at this venue and made most when runner-up to Madame Celeste over a mile a fortnight ago. Blue Soul could find no extra in the closing stages when well-supported on her second start over seven furlongs here last month and the step up to a mile is a concern, although there is some stamina on the dam side of her pedigree.
