In depth
Verdict
Rated 86, HONITON came up against higher-rated rivals including Irish Derby entry Eldar Eldarov when third at Newcastle and should find this easier reunited with Frankie Dettori. He has the beating of Postwick on these terms while the four-year-old Findono is conceding weight having finished third of five runners here last time. Dancing Empress is a sister to a winner and a half-sister to several others and is preferred to Cadmus of the newcomers.
