A very interesting contest with fascinating newcomers in four-time Fibresand winner, Our Ivor, and four-time Godolphin scorer, Parlour Games, now with John Ferguson, locking horns with three previous winners, not to mention Ronaldinho, who receives weight all around on the age allowance scale. Alan King's charge has been placed in useful Ascot and Doncaster handicaps on recent starts and must be taken very seriously returned to novice company. Max Ward and Focail Maith have both shown more than enough to play a prominent role but BREAKING THE BANK created a really good impression at Towcester, is open to further progression and claimed three of four Flat victories on the forecast good ground. He's taken to oblige in a race deserving of close consideration with the future in mind.
