Verdict

The last 5 renewals of this have been won by 4-y-os and BACK IN BLACK spearheads an appealing group of candidates of that age this time round. He readily outpointed Shout over 7f here on his 2025 reappearance and, like many from his yard, he is likely to continue to improve with age. If the ground eases the lightly-raced Stem will be of strong interest, while the aforementioned Shout, Fifth Column and Whip Cracker are all shortlisted, along with Lincoln 1-2 Urban Lion and Rogue Diplomat.
