Verdict

MR COLONEL wasn't beaten that far in the Group 3 Zetland Stakes on his final 2-y-o start and if he's close to that level on reappearance, he'll surely open his account. Chelmsford winner Bay of Myths and According To Mark are promising in their own right, though.

4	Pulled clear with odds-on shot (who finished second in the Goffs Million subsequently) on debut but took too long to get going when a beaten favourite at Ayr (1m) next time. Upped to this trip with cheekpieces on, he ran really well in the Group 3 Zetland Stakes and that form stands out on return. 1st Pick 4 Mr Colonel (Ire) Jockey: Shane Gray Trainer: Richard & Peter Fahey J: Shane Gray T: Richard & Peter Fahey	100	-	-	-	56%

1	€70,000 foal, €100,000 yearling, New Bay colt. Half-brother to several winners, including very smart winner up to 1¼m Folkswood, smart winner up to 1¼m Good Omen. Dam unraced. Bred to be above average and justified heavy support starting out at Chelmsford last month. Can leave bare form behind. 2nd Pick 1 Bay Of Myths (Ire) Jockey: Hollie Doyle Trainer: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole J: Hollie Doyle T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole	77	-	-	-	42%

2	St Mark's Basilica colt. Closely related to 9.4f winner Black Lullaby and half-brother to useful 1m-9.5f winner Painters Palette. Displayed ability amidst obvious signs of greenness when fourth of 12 at Newcastle (1m) in November. Expected to build on that up in trip switched to turf. 3rd Pick 2 According To Mark (Ire) Jockey: Callum Rodriguez Trainer: Edward Bethell J: Callum Rodriguez T: Edward Bethell	75	-	-	-	29%
