EBANOUR has a fantastic pedigree which is why he cost connections £120,000. He was certainly expected to make short work of his rivals at Wetherby on his debut and did so with little fuss, suggesting there is much more to come. City Press is another expensive purchase who is related to numerous winners and is one to keep an eye on while Way To Finish, Crowning Jewel and Sole Survivor have done enough to warrant respect. Hollow Blue Sky started favourite on his debut in a Towcester event won by Festival Bumper runner-up Destroyer Deployed and though not making much impression better is expected here.
