FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - The question probably is, if those without an official assessment can reach the standard set by Reve De Vol and Snapraeterea – both on a 102 perch. Ballydoyle have three in contention, and Aidan O’Brien’s sons Joseph and Donnacha are also on the trail of this Group Two prize. The market should be revealing, but Seamie Heffernan’s mount, HIGH DEFINITION, is the suggestion, at least until we see betting trends. A course and distance winning maiden five weeks ago, there was huge promise displayed from the Galileo colt then. Wayne Lordan was in the plate there, and he described High Definition as “a little raw early.” The brother to Innisfree can only come forward as a result, and a big performance could be in the offing. Ace Aussie and Wuqood are very promising too, so an informative heat is in prospect.
