Verdict

Azarole, Millennium Force and Prince Tum Tum are three against the field in this competitive contest and the vote is given to Azarole. The selection was returning from a soft palate operation when putting in a creditable effort to finish fourth behind Royal Storm in a Listed race at Newbury. This looks a much easier assignment and he should take plenty of beating. Millennium Force is the obvious danger as he is fit from a recent campaign in Dubai. On his latest effort he finished down there field behind Major's Caste, but he had previously run well in a couple of other races and if Azarole is not fully tuned-up for his seasonal return then he could be the one to take advantage. Prince Tum Tum was disappointing last time but had previously run well in Dubai. He has more on his plate here and he will have to improve to trouble the principles. A similar comment would apply to Camp Commander and for the winner we return to Azarole.
