Verdict
AFTER EIGHT will likely be a short price to make it third-time lucky after seconds here and at Wolverhampton. He was well ahead of Miss Messenger and Faithhopeandglory on the latter occasion and there is no reason why either of those two should get any closer. Stormbreaker wears headgear on his debut and is bred for stamina so Tartarus may prove the pick of the two debutants.
