Verdict
ATACAMA DESERT started off life with Sir Michael Stoute and though we are yet to see how he goes on Turf, he is a half-brother to the high-class Main Sequence. Menin Gate was tried under enterprising tactics last time out and this shorter run for home may help Archie Watson’s charge. Simon Walker sticks with Study The Stars so expect to see the partnership proving popular in the market while Termonator shaped with some promise at Beverley and isn’t out of this. Cusack may be modest but his form during 2022 has been fairly consistent regardless of what surface he has been tried upon.
