Verdict

Frankel colt LICENCE looked very good indeed when landing a Gowran maiden on his belated debut last summer, for all that he probably didn't beat much. This is obviously a far sterner test, but Group-race entries suggest that connections hold high hopes for this 4-y-o and he may well prove equal to the task. Smart hurdler Jason The Militant is 2-2 in this sphere and is a much-respected main danger ahead of Patrick Sarsfield and Barrington Court, while Cleveland needs a second look, too.
