Verdict
Weather Front, fourth in both starts so far at Wolverhampton and Newmarket, looks the pick of those with experience ahead of Dylantelle though Sahalin will almost certainly improve on an inauspicious debut on Tapeta. However, we'd prefer to concentrate on the newcomers with Fandango and Lord Huntingdon both being by German sire Lord Of England and related to winners. ATHLON has a staying pedigree so this mile won't be a problem and, while he's likely to do better over middle-distances next year, David Lanigan's colt can make a winning start.
