In depth
Verdict
Storm Catcher is upped in trip after making a winning start over 7f at Kempton but is entered in the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot and should last home. Ranchero showed little progress when runner-up at Newcastle to Great King and also steps up in distance. The latter is trained by Roger Varian and he should have a good line on the chances of the newcomer WATCH MY SIX, a 150,000gns purchase and half-brother to a winner in Italy. Makashi wouldn’t need to improve much to get involved while Kolisi drops down from 1m2f.
