Formscan By Michael Graham - CHARLES DARWIN is a full-brother to a Group 1 Middle Park Stakes winner and can reap the benefit of a run in the Curragh. He wasn't beaten far into fourth and improvement should be forthcoming. Cut in the ground isn't a negative for progeny of his sire. Joseph O'Brien introduces a pair of colts in Clarity of Thought and Estoublon who hold entries in an early closing Listed race at Redcar. Both made good money at the sales and have to be respected. Echo Of Faith, Harmani and Ipanema Beach are newcomers worth a market check in what could be an informative maiden.
