DISTANT STORM (2) impressed running out a 5L winner of the G3 Somerville Tattersall Stakes over course and distance last month. Charlie Appleby and William Buick won this twelve months ago and they can team up to claim success once more with this exciting juvenile who could put his course experience to good use. ZAVATERI (9) has done nothing wrong in his four outings to date and makes the shortlist after taking his record to four from four with a battling win beating GSTAAD (4) in the G1 Vincent O'Brien National Stakes. The latter was an excellent second in the 6f G1 Prix Morny at Deauville prior and is the pick of this O'Brien duo. OXAGON (6) encountered a subsequent G1 winner when second in the G2 Champagne Stakes and might have more to offer.
