Recent Chelmsford third LOHENGRIN seemed to handle the soft ground on his earlier debut. There’s plenty of stamina on his dam’s side and this extra distance should suit the Haggas charge. Goodwood third Lope De Light can figure if handling the slower surface and the same comment applies to Carlisle runner-up Man Of Monaco who finished ahead of Kintaro on that occasion. Wilding struggled last time having placed at Carlisle earlier.
