This has the look of a hot maiden, with PAGAN SUN chanced before market clues to continue the red-hot Paddy Twomey's remarkable run with his newcomers (7 of his last 10 have won). Soldier's Empire and Chicago Fireball are closely matched on the form of their Goffs Million efforts and can surely find races. Taraj is respected, while Emphasis has to be worth a look first time up for Ballydoyle.
