Attraction looks the one to be with as she makes her first British outing this season, with Nayyir, Sleeping Indian and Leitram House rated as the main dangers. The selection was in need of the run in a Group I contest in Hong Kong when she was disappointing finishing down the field in the Champions Mile. But she was of course a dual Guineas winner last season and although she has to shoulder an 8lb penalty in this seven-furlong contest she should take plenty of beating. Nayyir put up a cracking effort in the Sussex Stakes last time and he is reported to have come out of the race very well. However, this may come a little too quickly for him and he gives the impression that he will threaten to win a Group 1 race without actually being good enough to do so. Sleeping Indian was only beaten two lengths behind Nayyir on the Sussex Downs last time and there could be more to come from this colt who is relatively lightly-raced. Leitram House was well-beaten in the July Cup last month so is hard to put forward with any confidence on the back of that effort. Peter Paul Rubens is having his first crack at Group company so will need to continue his improvement to get competitive. All eyes will be on Attraction in this Group 3 contest, and she should have too much class for her rivals.
