MY LEAGUE can be expected to step up quite markedly on his debut 2 weeks ago and is a tentative selection in a tricky race. Atlantic Breeze actually achieved more than the selection on debut, but that was last season, and he might be one brought along more steadily. Timyra is more exposed, but still respected on the pick of her form.
