      Verdict

      Tadaawol has been off the track for more than a year but is eased in grade for this. He would have every chance of making a winning start for his new yard if reproducing his form on Turf. Song Of Shadows has an even longer absence to overcome while Epeius has already run eight times, though was just beaten in a handicap over course and distance last time. ARCTIC ANGEL, brother to two winners between 5f and 7f, is surely better than he showed on debut at Chelmsford and his trainer has an impressive strike rate here with his three-year-olds.
