Formscan - Covey landed a treble in comfortable style at Haydock last month but, given the last 10 winners hadn't run in a handicap on their previous start, it could pay to side with THE ANTARCTIC. A game winner of the Lacken Stakes at Naas most recently, Aidan O'Brien's inmate has shaped as though he can progress further for stepping up in trip. He lost little in defeat behind Blackbeard in in the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket last September and the 750,000gns purchase rates the one to beat. Enfjaar cost 240,000gns as a foal and caught the eye when beating subsequent Lingfield Derby Trial winner Military Order into fourth on his debut at Newmarket. Roger Varian's charge made it 2-2 when bolting up under a penalty at Chelmsford on his most recent run and he likely has more to offer. Olivia Maralda and Zoology add further spice to a competitive renewal.
