Verdict

Tullius won this in 2015 while Custom Cut was third last year behind Belardo. The latter was trained by Roger Varian, who runs Dawn Of Hope this year. He was successful over a mile on his reappearance at Ascot and later won a Listed race on the all-weather at Deauville. STORMY ANTARCTIC won the Craven Stakes on his return to action last year and was later second in the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat at Chantilly. This represents a significant drop in class and Ed Walker’s colt may prove too strong for the Godolphin pair Cymric and Toscanini, though Crazy Horse gives the impression he could have more to offer this term and Frankie’s mount looks a better bet than disappointing stablemate Castle Harbour. Kool Kompany looks held by Crazy Horse on their run together at Salisbury in October.
