Havana Gold had taken the lead when his saddle slipped a furlong from home in a Listed event at Deauville. He looks sure to make a bold bid with normal luck in-running but AL WAAB is just preferred. He kept his unbeaten record intact with a comfortable victory at Newmarket last month and can land this before taking up one of his options in the upcoming leading juvenile races. The remainder have some improving to do to figure in this grade though Mirsaale landed the odds with the minimum of fuss at Brighton while Azrur won at Doncaster on his debut and may improve past Makafeh and Miss You Too.
