The Defiant was only beaten a nose at Goodwood last time while Stone Circle beat Grandfather Tom over track and trip last month and the latter won this contest back in 2020. Haveoneyerself has been in good form in lower grade sprints while Colombe placed at Newmarket recently but earlier finished well behind HAN SOLO BERGER when the latter won over course and distance. Now back on a winning, Bob Cowell’s charge could make another bold bid.
