A chance is taken that John Gosden has got to the bottom of WALDSTERN and, with the visor back in place, this 400,000 gns purchase can take a step towards emulating some of the Group winners lurking in his pedigree. He looks the most progressive of the bunch at this stage. Big Country is consistent at this level but has a bit to prove back on turf on his return from wind surgery, so it might be down to Lucius Tiberius and Crowned Eagle to scrap it out as the best of the rest. The former just edges preference in that personal battle.
