Apres Dark was quite impressive when clearly not a huge amount was expected on debut. He should still be capable of going close under a 7lb penalty, but the suggestion is to side with
VENTURA TORMENTA. Richard Hannon's colt was not disgraced at Royal Ascot and with an extra furlong to travel here, plus that experience, he could take advantage of the weight concession from Marco Botti's runner.
Sidi Mansour is another likely contender, while the market can guide as the newcomers, with
Surprise Picture perhaps the more interesting.
