Several powerful yards test the water with Classic hopefuls including John Gosden’s SEVENNA STAR. He trounced the opposition at Windsor on his reappearance and is partnered by Frankie Dettori for the first time in this. Ballydoyle’s Hunting Horn won with plenty to spare at Naas a fortnight ago despite the narrow winning-margin and Ispolini beat a subsequent winner in a maiden race at Kempton in November. Of the remainder, Chilean looks to have trained-on judged on a recent comeback win in Group 3 company at Longchamp though Wafy was well beaten at the same level at Newmarket when last seen in action. Stephensons Rocket, Come On Tier and Sovereign Duke have all scored over a mile while Jetstream was successful over 1m2f at Newcastle in February.
