Formscan  - THE LION IN WINTER unfortunately missed his initial intended assignment in the first Classic this year, but there is no doubting the level of ability the son of Sea The Stars showed in his juvenile campaign. Aidan O'Brien's colt produced a sparkling performance to beat Wimbledon Hawkeye (second) and subsequent 2000 Guineas winner Ruling Court (third) in the Acomb here last summer. He is likely to have lots more to offer, especially with this step up in distance expected to bring about any amount of improvement. Alpine Trail is unbeaten in three starts, with his best effort coming when successful in Listed company at Newmarket just under a fortnight ago, and he is one to watch.
