Verdict
Et Toi and New Hope have similar form having both faded in the closing stages over 7f at Sandown and Ayr respectively on their latest starts. But they come up against a potentially smart newcomer here in FOUNDATION, a half-brother to three winners with a string of fancy entries including the Group 1 Dewhurst. The other debutants are no back numbers either with the 100,000gns yearling Altarsheed and Gambit, entered in the Tattersalls Millions Trophy, preferred to Colour Me Happy.
