        Verdict

        This looks tricky and it’s difficult to predict when Stormy Antarctic will produce his best but a repeat of his second in a Group 1 in France in July would see him bang there at the finish. Epic Hero placed in a Group 3 here last time and can figure again while both of Charlie Appleby’s runners have a shout. Zakouski and KING’S COMMAND ended last season with victories in Group races and both have comeback runs under their belts but the latter has won in soft going and that may give him the edge today. Qaysar will also handle the ground and may prove best of the remainder.
