VERDICT: Highbury cost 650,000 euros as a yearling and is out of a Group 3-winning dam whose own granddam was champion American filly Surfside. The Ballydoyle runner has obligatory entries in the Epsom and Irish Derbys and could be smart. Himalayan Heights ran quite well on probably unsuitably testing ground on Leopardstown debut. There are plenty of French stakes performers in his pedigree and he could put his experience to good use. Aztec Sun is from an Aga Khan pedigree, is a half-brother to a Group 2 winner with his dam being a half-sister to a Group 1 winner. He was well held on Dundalk debut last November but shaped nicely and should improve. Royal Entry (wearing an eye-shield) is a sister to two black-type performers including Group 3 winner Smash Williams while Birdman is out of a winning half-sister to two Group 3 winners including Elusive Pimpernel. Frankel-sired Alonzo was reported to have 'lost his action shortly after leaving the starting stalls' when pulled up last year and is second-string today.
