This looks a strong Dante. THE LION IN WINTER is hard to oppose so well has his Acomb form worked out but there's enough in here to test him. Wimbledon Hawkeye, who chased home Aidan O'Brien's colt in the Acomb, shaped as if this step up to 1¼m is sure to suit when a fine fifth in the 2000 Guineas, while Alpine Trail, who was supplemented last week, and Damysus rate exciting prospects for top stables.
