A plethora of well-bred colts on show and possibly the pick of those is RULER OF TIME, who fetched $700,000 as a yearling and represents connections arriving in red-hot form (had several winners at the Newmarket July Festival last week). Mr Writer sets the standard of those with racecourse experience, so he heads up the opposition, while Morbeh, Exclusive Code and Gewan are just a handful of other debutants to consider, too.
