Havana Grey beat Frozen Angel in the National Stakes at Sandown in which Tuesday’s Windsor Castle Stakes winner Sound And Silence finished fourth. He must go on the short-list and Wesley Ward won this in 2013 so Mcerin, impressive at Keeneland before just losing out in a three-way photo finish at Churchill Downs, is also respected. Nine Below Zero, True Blue Moon and Rock of Estonia are all two from two but so is SANTRY. Declan Carroll’s son Of Harbour Watch won a division of the Brocklesby at Doncaster on debut and bettered that effort when defying a penalty in a novice event at York when beating subsequent Catterick winner Consequences and It Dont Come Easy, who broke the two-year-old course record next time at Musselburgh. Cardsharp was second in the Woodcote at Epsom before winning a valuable prize at Beverley but might get taken off his feet on today’s going.
