Verdict

HAVANA BEAT was prominent for a long way in last month's Ascot Gold Cup and has ground conditions in his favour again as he bids to repeat last year's win. His third to Snow Sky at York in May has worked out well and Andrew Balding's stayer can prove too strong for Aussie Reigns, just behind Gold Cup winner Trip To Paris in the Henry II Stakes here in May when Forgotten Voice was behind. Suegioo could reverse last week's Northumberland Plate form with Angel Gabrial on better terms while Eye of The Storm will be all the better for his third at Goodwood and stays this longer trip.
