About an hour or so before Minella Times created history at Aintree John Nallen was at Cork unveiling the next generation of his quality stock. In a truly run maiden where the front pair drew a long way clear of the third there was a lot to like about the manner in which this fellow forged a two and a half length success at the line. He is by Shantou out of a high class four times winning mare which points to him making it all the way to the top in the NH sphere. A top notch pedigree and top drawer performance will ensure he is on all serious buyers lists.
