Verdict

The Roger Teal stable is going better now than when OAKFORD was narrowly denied at Goodwood in June so perhaps this Dark Angel colt can make a successful return from a break. Al Widyan should have more to offer on the back of his Kempton third and is second choice. Hope In Havana and Cornichon are newcomers who could have a say, particularly if the betting speaks in their favour.
