LAAKHOF is speedily bred and related to a couple of winning juveniles. His top trainer doesn't rush his 2-y-o runners so it's interesting that this one starts off here and he makes plenty of appeal. Admiraloftheblue can't be ruled out either given his pedigree and yard. Albion Square sets the standard on form shown to date and he has to be taken seriously.
