HAVANA GOLD would almost certainly have made it three out of three in a Listed race at Deauville earlier this month had his saddle not slipped. He still looks to be improving and can make amends here. Richard Hannon also runs Califante, who last ran in a Group 3 at Deauville, but Richard Hughes deserts her in favour of the selection. Operation Chariot has his sights lowered and should be suited by the step up in distance but Timoneer was a little disappointing when favourite at Newmarket last time and has more to do here. Go Angelica, fourth in a Listed contest at Sandown last time, may need more time.
