POGO ended last season with a fine second in a Grade 2 at Newmarket and he was also placed earlier in the Prix D’Ispahan at Chantilly. A winner in this grade at Windsor last June, Charlie Hills shouldn’t be far away in this if fully wound-up. Shine So Bright beat the brilliant Laurens in a Grade 2 in 2019 but has become hard to place. Mums Tipple is preferred to stablemate Beat Le Bon, despite carrying a small penalty, but the unexposed Lord Campari probably carries a bigger threat as he won first-time out last year.
