Ed Walker's stable-star Stormy Antarctic (GB) (Stormy Atlantic) could be on his travels as he bids to secure a first Group 1 for his trainer whose relocation to Lambourn has seen his string firing on all cylinders since the beginning of the year. Walker has the G1 BMW Champions Mile at Sha Tin May 8 in mind for his G3 Craven S. winner assuming he pleases connections in his comeback run this weekend. Walker hopes to reintroduce PK Siu's 4-year-old in a listed race at Doncaster on Saturday or a Group 3 in France on Sunday. “He's in good shape and is going to run next weekend either at Doncaster or in a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud the day after. He went to Kempton on Thursday for an away day and I'm super happy with him,” Walker told the Racing Post. Arguably Stormy Antarctic's best effort last year was when he finished second to Zelzal (Fr) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) in the G1 Prix Jean Prat at Chantilly in July over a mile and the trainer has also entered Stormy Antarctic in the G1 QEII Cup over 10 furlongs at Sha Tin. “I've put him in both races, but I don't really want to go ten furlongs. The mile division over there is pretty strong but I think we'll be going that way,” Walker explained.
