The two-year-olds have a fine record against the older horses and they look to have the edge in this. Zabaglione looked a horse to follow when winning at Newbury and while he is sure to go well in this, he may just find Stormont too experienced for him. Hugh Collingridge's grey colt is on the upgrade and he is well drawn, just one off the rails. Formalise impressed when making all at Windsor and while this represents a stiffer test, he is open to improvement and will be difficult to keep out of the frame.
