The Antarctic, well-beaten in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot, will be expected to bounce back to winning ways in the listed Coolmore Ten Sovereigns Tipperary Stakes in Tipperary.

The Dark Angel colt, a brother to former champion sprinter Battaash, has already proven his liking for Tipperary and his ability to handle testing conditions, having scored over course and distance on debut, back in April, when outpointing one of today’s rivals, Wodao, by a half-length.
