Verdict
Aidan O'Brien has three entries and, though Battle Of Saratoga and Canary Wharf should be winning soon, the newcomer Thomasgainsborough could prove the best of the trio and is one to note. MAHAAZEN hasn't done as well as expected after running the useful La Collina close on her debut but all runs to date have been over 7f and she's been crying out for further. She gets the vote ahead of the consistent Kashmir Peak while Jim Bolger's debutants Dynamite Dixie and Teodolite are worth watching for the future.
