Verdict

MORNING SUN looks a typical slow burner for Sir Michael Stoute and having shaped like a stayer throughout his career, he can take a leap forward tackling this trip for the first time. Aldbourne arrives on a roll but this asks a different question from his revised mark, so Flylikeaneagle and Mustazeed are feared most.
