Race preview
Do Or Do Not has been a model of consistency, with numerous placed efforts at Group 2 level, and the drop to Listed company after his third in the Gimcrack gives him every chance of shedding the maiden tag. However, he may be vulnerable to a less-exposed type and HANKELOW fits that bill. Karl Burke's colt made the perfect start at York in June, having cost 750,000gns at Tattersalls Book 1 last October, and the rise in grade shouldn't be too much of an issue judged on that performance. Catullus justified long odds-on without breaking sweat at Yarmouth and is respected along with Convivial winner Frescobaldi.
