FormscanBy Alan Magee - WHISTLEJACKET is a full brother to Little Big Bear who was a star juvenile for Ballydoyle in 2022 winning the Group 1 Keeneland Phoenix Stakes over this course and distance and it will be interesting to see how strong the No Nay Never colt is in the market. Adrian Murray already has a good line on current juvenile form having won with Arizona Blaze here on the opening day of the season and is now represented by Devine Genius, a half-brother to Unquestionable who won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf last autumn. Riding arrangements suggest Spartan Soldier, a 150,000 euro son of No Nay Never, is preferred of Donnacha O’Brien’s pair while Cowardofthecounty, who cost 100,000 guineas as a yearling, is another to note.
