INTERNATIONAL BOY is the most exposed by some way but has little to fear from the others with experience on what they’ve shown so far and Richard Fahey’s colt may prove good enough back at this level. Of the newcomers, Micky Michaelis is a half-brother to several winners including former stablemate and smart sprinter Mattmu. Rum Going On and Trust Bertie can also boast several winning relatives and are preferred to Danby Wiske and stable companion Alethiometer.
