Group Two Beresford Stakes Guide 2022

Time Test colt who fairly bolted up from a useful one in Auguste Rodin on debut at the Curragh. He failed to build on that next time out though, finishing 7th of 13 in the Chesham at Royal Ascot.

He’s been put away for a while now, and a mile could really be his bag. He’s comparatively unexposed, and still could be anything – but he’ll have to bounce back from a disappointing effort in June.

Got off the mark on the third time of asking at Galway when getting better of Tiverton and Serious Challenge (both have won since).

He then ran a decent race when third in the same French Group 3 that Adelaide ran second in. He has some work on to turn the tables with Adelaide, and then it begs the question.

Is that even enough to take this?

An eyecatcher on debut when a fast finishing second at Down Royal over seven furlongs. He was immediately upped to a mile in a Bellewstown maiden and won going away by just over two lengths.

He was subsequently dropped back down in trip to seven furlongs again in the Churchill stakes and the Futurity, where he finished third and fourth respectively.

He was arguably unlucky not to finish closer in the G2 Futurity last time out. Back up to a mile, he must be feared by all.

Good chance.

Young Ireland is a five race maiden by New Approach, who’s progeny often take time to develop. That said, he’s ran in some moderately useful races, with solid opposition, the fact is, Young Ireland himself hasn’t really shown much to date.

He will need to improve markedly to be in with any sort of shout in this class.

Comfortable winner on debut at Dundalk before finishing a close second in a French Group Three two weeks ago.

His form is probably up there with the best on offer here, and he’s superbly bred and trained by O’Brien, who seems to have a monopoly on this race.

He will likely be one of the horses to beat.

Superbly bred son of Heart’s Cry out of Fluff, who’s progeny include Maybe, who herself produced Saxon Warrior no less.

The family really is top class, and Continuous made the best possible start when making light work of a Maiden at the Curragh last month.

It’s hard to say what he beat there but he did it well. Another dart for O’Brien, could this be his better fancied runner?

Roaring Lion colt who won on debut at Bellewstown. That’s been his only visit to the racetrack thus far, but it was pretty informative

He beat Betterdaysarecoming by a head, in game fashion, with a yawning gap back to the others. Betterdaysarecoming has since won, so the form has been advertised too.

If Roaring Gallagher can improve again, he might well be in with a decent shout in what looks a competitive, yet open race.
