Verdict
Toboggan's Fire and Moi Aussie were both big prices on their respective debuts and showed enough to suggest they can be found a race though there are some well-connected newcomers entered. This has been a very good race for favourites so the market is best watched but the Godolphin colt Simple Attack will attract support and this trip should prove ideal. Heir To A Throne cost 60,000 euros and is a half-brother to two winners in France but Richard Fahey's JORDAN SPORT could be the one to be on. He's a full-brother to the very useful Akeed Mofeed and a half-brother to three winners and his trainer should have him ready for this. Silver Streak is related to six winners and is one to note for the future.
