Home Of The Brave made a promising start when runner-up at Windsor with First Class Mail back in fifth. ATLETICO also finished second at Windsor on his introduction, but in a faster time, and Roger Varian's colt is just preferred here. The others with experience have some improving to do to figure and one the newcomers may end up a bigger threat. That includes State Of The Union and Astrophysics though Zigayani, a half-brother to prolific winner Kensington, makes more appeal.
