A quick look at some provisionals .
Opera Ballo was impressive and from little evidence I have him on +11+ . In the next race on that card I have Quai De Bethune on the same perch . The last named supports my claim that Cosmic Year(+2+) is top class and his rating is independent of his third to the Juddmonte star .
Noble Champion I have on +3 but , sadly , that form lacks any support at all . If he gets an entry he could still be of interest .EDIT there is now some support for the high figure
Hanting improved at the back end and is on a very shaky +6 . I went to check that this Italian youngster was a colt and true to form I could not find it . Trained by Botti .
All figure are wrt Henri Matisse 0
I missed the Hannon horse off . Stem(IRE) +6+ , bolted in at Newbury on heavy ground . The form is tenuous but this colt is entered at The Curragh in both Guineas and Derby .
EDIT : Opera Ballo goes to +7+ and Quai De Bethune remains on +11+ for the time being . The latter might not have run his race .
Taking results from the desert and all weather I am getting the impression that we did not see the best 2 y o colts last season.
