Verdict

Highly tried on his second start, AFTERMATH took a big step forward when third in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster and he could be ready to get off the mark this time around. Storm Piece has also made a promising start to his career and could be the main danger, with Saints N Scholars the pick of the newcomers.
