Al will have improved for a debut outing at Kempton over 6f and Champagne Bob went close on his racecourse introduction over 7f on the all-weather. But STORM THE STARS could prove the one to beat on his second at Newmarket behind Aloft. The latter ran well for second in last Saturday's Racing Post Trophy so the Haggas colt probably doesn't need to improve much. All of the newcomers are related to winners with Golden Horn perhaps proving best of them.
