Verdict
The newcomer Inundate's dam is related to Group 1 winners and he's one to note for the future but his owners first colours are sported by THE NILE in this contest. The latter finished a creditable third at Newbury in August when just behind a subsequent winner and John Gosden's colt should be winning this if he's to justify an entry in the St James's Palace Stakes. Zaeem found stablemate Samba King, who has since won again, too good at Yarmouth on his comeback while the likes of Exning Halt, Sea Fever and Autumn Fire will be better for the outing.
