FormscanBy Gary Carson - Kentucky-based first season sire Air Force Blue is already off the mark with a winner in the US and Coolmore will obviously be keen to support their former champion two-year-old. Aidan O'Brien saddles two of his progeny here and CHIEF LITTLE HAWK would appear to be the first string with Seamie Heffernan getting the leg up. He is a son of US Grade 1 winner Marylebone. The other Air Force Blue colt, Hyde Park Barracks, cost €250,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to Listed winner Hidden Message from a good black-type family. The third of the Ballydoyle trio here is No Nay Never colt Forest Of Dreams, who cost E900,000 at the sales. The Blue Panther has form in the book having been third on the opening day and that experience will stand to him. Other newcomers to note in the market are the Jessica Harrington-trained Laelaps, a half-brother to dual Listed winner Red Stars, and Joseph O'Brien's Tar Heel, a Zoffany half-brother to smart sprinter Burwaaz.
