ROUSSEL came close to making it two from two in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot, showing plenty of fighting spirit in the process, and a repetition of that form ought to be sufficient to land this contest. Havana Grey was outclassed in the Norfolk Stakes but will be much more competitive here and should be involved at the finished, as should Way of Wisdom, who was beaten by a highly-rated rival at Ripon, but has plenty of promise. Windsor winner Rebel Assault looks a little short of this class, as does Last Page, but To Wafij should fare better on this going than when running on soft in May and has each-way prospects.
