Bay Of Brilliance
Half-brother to smart Flat and hurdle winner Absurde; odds-on winner of a maiden at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) and novice at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft; made all) on last two starts as 2yo; pushed Maltese Cross all the way in Lingfield Derby Trial (11.6f, good to firm) and could improve on that first-time-out display; more to do but he's heading the right way.

From the connections
“It was a really good effort. Bay Of Brilliance is great to deal with and we'll decide at the five-day stage, I suppose. I think we'll see how it pans out over the next couple of weeks and how it's shaking out. I'd love to have a go. He's a cool customer and he's going to handle the whole jamboree. He's going to stay too. Based on that, he's also going to handle the track, so that's three good reasons to run. He's just a really straightforward individual and we know he's a lovely horse, which is part of the battle - Ralph Beckett, trainer.”
“It was a very different race to Goodwood. We were coming back a furlong so I wanted to make sure we went a proper gallop. Bay Of Brilliance stays very well and loves this ground. I was impressed, he saw them off early and powered away. He was very dominant with a penalty, which is a hard thing to do. Hopefully he'll be a nice stayer for next season. He's very mature and gets on with the job, I couldn't fault that - Hector Crouch, jockey.”
