NUMANTIA has been shaping up well and can get off the mark following a gelding operation. Trustmore could be the one to follow him home.

8	Well-bred son of St Mark's Basilica. Shaped well all 3 starts to date. Latest finishing 1¾ lengths third of 6 at the Curragh (1½m) 9 weeks ago, unable to sustain a big move into contention from his less-than-ideal position. Since gelded and looks the one to beat back down in distance. 1st Pick 8 Numantia (Ire) Jockey: P. A. Harnett Trainer: Donnacha Aidan O'brien, Ireland J: P. A.

9	150,000 gns purchase who finished mid-field in a warm Curragh maiden on debut. Wasn't seen to best effect sent handicapping on the back of a gelding operation there 9 weeks ago, beaten 3½ lengths in a change of headgear. One of the more interesting types on return to maiden company. 2nd Pick 9 Trustmore (Ire) Jockey: William James Lee Trainer: Stephen Thorne, Ireland J: William James Lee T: Stephen Thorne, Ireland	89	-	-	-	16%	11/2

4	450,000 gns Too Darn Hot gelding from excellent family. Ran to similar level as on debut when 10 lengths sixth of 21 in a Navan maiden (1¼m, good) that lacked depth. Likely to do better at some stage given his pedigree/connections, possibly in handicaps. 3rd Pick 4 Scorcher's Son Jockey: Declan Mcdonogh Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'brien, Ireland J: Declan Mcdonogh T: Joseph Patrick O'brien, Ireland	83	-	-	-	12%	8/1
