The chestnut colt CATALYSE (IRE), by Starspangledbanner out of Moondrop, won impressively on debut at Hamilton and is now being aimed at Royal Ascot, with potential entries in both the Coventry and Norfolk Stakes.
COLUMNIST, a bay colt by Ardad out of Sand And Deliver, also made a winning debut at Chester and will likely target the Coventry Stakes at the royal meeting.
Fahey is particularly excited about COMANCHE WARRIOR (IRE), a bay colt by Dark Angel out of Elaysa. “This is probably one of the nicest yearlings we bought last year,” he said, noting the horse may run in late summer or early autumn.

- GUNS FIRING (IRE), a bay filly by New Bay out of Sound of Guns
