FormscanBy Alan Magee - DELACROIX won twice last year including the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket before just losing out by the slimmest of margins to Hotazhell in the Group 1 Futurity Trophy at Doncaster. The Dubawi colt is bred to stay this extra quarter mile, while stablemate Puppet Master also looked like he’d be suited by stepping up in trip when finishing strongly to land a maiden at the Galway Festival. Cork maiden winner Wemightakedlongway was subsequently placed at Group 3 level and riding arrangements suggest he’s preferred to Kibris who won a 27-runner mile maiden on debut at the Curragh last November.
