Verdict

An ultra-competitive curtain-raiser to the 2022 Dante Festival in which preference is for GAASSEE, who had plenty up his sleeve when making a winning handicap debut at Kempton in December, and with further improvement on the cards, William Haggas' charge can complete an impressive 4-timer on this return to action. Global Storm took his form up a notch in Meydan earlier this year so he heads up the dangers with Harry Davies taking off a valuable 7 lb, ahead of On To Victory and Sam Cooke.
