He is a Sadler’s Wells full-brother to the high-class Alexandrova and it seems certain will go off at cramped odds to make a winning debut.

Joe Murphy’s Douze Points is the one to be on in the Yeomanstown and Morristown Lattin Studs EBF Maiden. He didn’t show a lot on his debut, but improved substantially subsequently when a length and a quarter second to Westphalia at the Curragh.
