The newcomers could come to the fore, with preference for GIANT SEQUOIA who is bred to be smart and has Ryan Moore on board for debut. His stablemate Aix La Chapelle isn't taken lightly, though, from a family his leading yard has enjoyed plenty of success with, while To Infinity also catches the eye on paper.
