Formscan By Tom Weekes - TWO BRIGADE might be able to build on his recent handicap debut run, where he met trouble in-running. Out of a half-sister to a Group 2-winner, the selection showed mild promise in maidens and was beaten 13 lengths at Sligo earlier this month but met significant interference then. He looks capable of progressing, has dropped 2lb and Colin Keane is a notable booking. Howlin Wolf scored on handicap debut at the Curragh recently and holds obvious claims, despite being 7lb higher. Supreme Lord contested a Group 3 last month and while he has form in smart maidens, reverts down in trip under top weight.

Quotes

Quotes on Howlin Wolf (IRE)

That was good. He was just sort of an immature horse and was always going to need a couple of runs to learn the job. I didn’t really expect this. He’s a quirky sort but he got the rail and picked up well. We’ll look forward to the Birdcatcher, it’s a great pot. It’s really pleasing, I bred him myself. I actually bought the mare in America for the minimum bid of $3,000 and it cost me 10 grand to get her back but I’m glad I did. She’s paid me back now. He’s always shown bits and pieces of ability but my concern was when he’d put it together. He did today. Hopefully the penny has dropped now.
