The Antarctic confirmed Tipperary running with subsequent winner Wodao at Naas. The form of the latter race looks decent and the Dark Angel colt bids to give Ballydoyle a third win in this Group 2. Pillow Talk won the Listed Marygate at York and it’s very interesting that Karl Burke has by-passed the Queen Mary to run her against the colts in this. WALBANK (NAP) was runner-up to the well-regarded Noble Style on debut here, three lengths ahead of the more-experienced Redemption Time who won subsequently at Bath. The fourth, Royal Scotsman, won next time at Goodwood and was third in the Coventry Stakes here on Tuesday. David Loughnane’s colt easily landed the odds at York on his second start and looks a very smart juvenile. Bakeel won over course and distance on debut but neither the second nor third have franked the form.
