Verdict

NEW ENERGY only has a maiden success to his name but he produced several good efforts in Group company last season, not least when third in the Irish 2000 Guineas and a clear second to the classy Kinross at the Doncaster St Leger meeting. The 4-y-o is taken to deservedly get his head in front here. Goldana did the job well when making a winning debut for this yard at the Curragh and she is feared most ahead of Wexford Native. The unexposed You Send Me is one to follow but this is a big ask.
