SUNSET SAIL wasn't helped by a wide draw on debut in a decent race at Ascot but still showed plenty of early speed. With that experience under his belt, Richard Hannon's colt can get off the mark here. Brazen Spirit is improving and should be winning soon but British Embassy may do better when tackling 6f and further. Peace And War is well related and was a $300,000 yearling. She is one to note for the future but fellow newcomer Percy Alleline may need more time.
