    Already seen a few exciting two year olds a couple from Ireland and one from the States as highlighted by Cork all Star

    American Rascal looks destined for the Norfolk whilst Aidan O’Brien has already seen very, very good runs by River Tiber and Democracy

    Aidan named Alabama as one he thinks could be good at a stable tour recently.

    Good luck with the thread Nath, and hope you dig out a few.

    I’ll chip in with some myself, but my track record would suggest they won’t be in any Antepost Markets for The Classics

    I’m always wary of these ones like Alabama that they hype up Nathan, but as contradictory as it, he’s still an interesting one haha :wacko:

    I’ve only really earmarked one 2yo so far, and that’s Sioux Warrior, who’s dad won The Norfolk and The Phoenix

    100% Kris..
    I made a note of Alabama but its whats done on the track that is important
    Aidan also mentioned Sioux Warrior among 5 or 6 others
    No mention of River Tiber or Democracy though

    Aidan said after Democracy won his maiden that he may go for the Filer listed race that Blackbeard won last year but he’s not been entered in it

    Nath, I always bet the Midnights on their debut, so I’m with the 2yo Midnight Lir at Ripon at 16’s

    Unlikely he’ll amount to too much, but Prince of Lir was decent, so I can live in hope, and at least I’ve put a 2yo up on the thread as promised, and it’s no even May yet lol

    Wesley Ward had another 2 y/o winner yesterday in Fandom. Not quite the American Rascal vibe but won cosily enough

    The listed race Blackbeard won last year is today.
    Bucanero Fuerte was pretty good in his maiden win, showed potential and that experience may come in handy to see off some Aidan O’Brien newcomers. A bit short in the market but interesting race nonetheless

    The 2 y/o race at Newbury today has produced a few good uns in the past, including Mehmas whose son Baheer runs today for Richard Hannon.. I was a little surprised to see Baheer is gelded. I’m wondering why? It may indicate that this one is above average as he’s got no stallion value and as said Hannon normally puts a Ascot one in here

    I’m hoping to see Sioux Warrior get his head in front today at Chester. I think he can, but I’m never overly confident with anything at this track

    From the Coventry Stakes thread;

    I’m not a fan of picking out one of the many potential Aidan O’Brien runners, let alone the unraced ones, but City of Troy keeps catching my attention. Has an entry in the railway stakes, and perhaps that might be the goal.

    At this stage then, I’m definitely going to bet Sioux Warrior, assuming that he gets an entry. A shade disappointing so far, but I’ll dig my heels in with him and back him if he gets an entry
