CAPE CAVALLI has form in the book with a promising debut over 1m2f at Newmarket last month. He didn’t look like catching subsequent Listed winner Jalmoud but the third has also won since and Simon Crisford’s colt gets the nod on the strength of that form. John Gosden runs two having trained last year’s winner with Frankie partnering Swift Wing, a brother to former stablemates and Group 2 winners Eagle Top and Wings Of Desire, rather than Kesia. Imperium is a half-brother to Irish St Leger third Flying Cross and preferred to Manucci of the remainder.
