FormscanBy Alan Magee - VILMAN stepped up nicely from his Gowran Park debut to take third behind subsequent Beresford Stakes winner Ol’ Man River at the Curragh. That winner is now a leading fancy for the 2015 Investec Derby, and Michael Halford’s charge is bound to be suited by this extra furlong having appeared to need every yard of the mile at the Curragh to get into the placings. Intense Pride ran well from a favourable stands’ side draw in a valuable sales race at the Curragh on Irish Champions Weekend, and looks the pick of the remainder with form. The newcomers are likely to prove the main threat with top of the list the Ballydoyle representative Ivanovich Gorbatov. The Montjeu colt is a half-brother to three winners including Group 2 Richmond Stakes victor Hamoody. Chaplin Bay made 180,000 guineas at Tattersalls last autumn and is a half-brother to five winners, while Alguazil is from a good family of Kirsten Rausing’s and was bought back for 40,000 guineas as a yearling.
