Lansky, a dual winner in the UK, made a very pleasing start in a Group 2 here a fortnight ago when only beaten just over 2l. He'll have come on a bundle for the run and his stable continues in good form. RACE DAY, four times a winner in the UK, showed the benefit of his opening run when just touched off over a mile three weeks ago. This looks his trip and he looks the one to be on though stable companion Victory Wave ran well in a Group 2 on the same day and takes a drop in class. Cliffs Of Capri gained the fifth victory of his career at Ascot in October and made a nice debut here last month in a race that wasn't run to suit while Mubtasim had some smart form in handicaps for William Haggas and looks just the type to do well here.
