Verdict

Richard Fahey's MR COLONEL shaped well when a debut second at Hamilton and gets a confident vote to go one better now with improvement very much on the cards from this son of Frankel. Newcomers Gaelic Approach and King Of Roses appeal on paper and can chase home the selection in that order.
