Sovereign Debt had already won at the All-Weather Championships before landing last year’s renewal and this looks more competitive. Addeybb arrives fresh from success in the Lincoln last month and may well prove effective at this level but Stormy Antarctic will find this tougher than the Group 3 contest he won in France at the start of the month. HERE COMES WHEN (NAP) made a winning reappearance last year and went on to beat Ribchester in the Group 1 Sussex Stakes on soft going at Goodwood in August. There should be enough juice in the ground today to see Andrew Balding’s charge make another bold bid. Aljazzi has a shout on his Group 3 win over course and distance in September and Robin Of Navan is capable in this grade but Khafoo Shememi and Mr Owen look up against it.
