Verdict
More than half of these have had a run and most of those will improve for the experience. Our Havana missed the break over 5f here last month and was always playing catch-up – the second that day won the Windsor Castle at Ascot on Wednesday. JEHANGEER chased home the Coventry Stakes second Army Ethos over track and trip last month so gets the nod, though newcomers Beyond Borders and A Girl Named Ivy are certainly worth a market check.
