THE LION IN WINTER unfortunately missed his initial intended assignment in the first Classic this year, but there is no doubting the level of ability the son of Sea The Stars showed in his juvenile campaign. Aidan O'Brien's colt produced a sparkling performance to beat Wimbledon Hawkeye (second) and subsequent 2000 Guineas winner Ruling Court (third) in the Acomb here last summer. He is likely to have lots more to offer, especially with this step up in distance expected to bring about any amount of improvement. Alpine Trail is unbeaten in three starts, with his best effort coming when successful in Listed company at Newmarket just under a fortnight ago, and he is one to watch. |
A well up-to-scratch renewal. The Lion In Winter will do for many, as the unbeaten form pick, representing an all-conquering yard which has dominated the trials thus far and with a pedigree suggesting this trip will suit the Derby favourite as a 3yo now. He may well win but is a very short price considering he's been off for nine months with minor setbacks (last season) and then being a bit behind fitness-wise in early spring, while the last of his trainer's four wins in this came back in 2010. At much bigger prices, a chance is taken on DAMYSUS, who gave the strong impression that he would improve for the experience when notably green en route to a highly promising return at Sandown last month. This demands more for sure but this colt will know more now and may just be up it. Unbeaten Alpine Trail has been supplemented and can go very well. He may be next best ahead of The Lion In Winter. |
