The then David Simcock-trained
Stone Of Destiny finished runner-up to Corinthia Knight in a Fast-Track Qualifier in 2018 (run in mid-February), before being switched to Andrew Balding for a turf campaign which took in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup (fourth) at Royal Ascot. Back on the AW (2-3) on his first start since being gelded, he makes the shortlist.
Outrage has thrived at this track over the winter winning on each of his last three visits to Gosforth Park, so is worthy of a place in the line-up but the selection is
ENCORE D'OR. Top-rated (109) and with the form of his October Dundalk second franked since, he rates as tough to oppose on such advantageous terms.
