THUNDER SNOW beat both Trais Fluors and Gold Luck to win the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat at Chantilly last month. Saeed bin Suroor’s colt is still improving on that showing and is taken to go in again. The four-year-old Taareef is unbeaten so far this year but this is tougher than his two-length defeat of the re-opposing Al Wukai in a Group 3 last time while Inns Of Court is another stepping up in class and distance having won a couple of Group 3 events over 7f for Andre Fabre.
