Verdict
UNDERWATER ATTACK showed enough to suggest he can win at this level when second at Leicester earlier in the month and Saeed bin Suroor’s colt has the strongest form of those with experience. Thunder Sun is a likely improver while Cotai Bear finished in front of Attlee here and can also go well. A couple of the newcomers represent powerful yards with Moraaheq the first foal of a winner in North America and Sir Edward Elgar a half-brother to a host of winners.
