Charlie Appleby has saddled three of the last four winners of the opening Classic of the season and DISTANT STORM (5) could enhance his excellent recent streak. This expensive purchase looked good winning the G3 Somerville Tattersall Stakes here in the autumn before returning just ten days later finishing a solid third in the G1 Dewhurst Stakes. That run may have come too soon and he could relish stepping up to 1600m for the first time. BOW ECHO (4) arrives unbeaten in three starts last year. Commands respect following his course and distance win in the G2 Royal Lodge Stakes. Interestingly Aidan O'Brien relies solely on his G1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner GSTAAD (6) who must be considered. AVICENNA (2) is the each-way play.
