INTRICACY showed enough when runner-up at Wolverhampton on his debut to suggest he can win at this level and the Crisfords’ colt can open his account. Wonder Legend is preferred to Zapphire of the others with experience while a couple of the newcomers are worthy of second glance. Nazymbek is a brother to a Group 3 winner and a half-brother to three other useful winners while Waipiro is related to a multiple Group 1 winner in Hong Kong.
