Simplify can take this event at the expense of League Of Nations. David Loder's charge has been expensive to follow but he has been competing against much better opposition and this does not look the strongest of events. League Of Nations is closely related to the likes of Gamut so on breeding he would probably need further than this seven furlongs. Country Rambler and Dartanian were unfancied on debut. Sharp N Frosty did not shape up from his fourth on debut. Robmantra was a cheap purchase at 2800 guineas. Simplify is our pick.
