Forecasts

Calandagan (6/5), Benvenuto Cellini (4/1), Kalpana (13/2), Masquerade Ball (13/2), Minnie Hauk (17/2), Goliath (12/1), Wurttemberg (40/1), Lambourn (50/1), Action (125/1)

Verdict

CALANDAGAN can become the fourth dual winner of this midsummer highlight. Minnie Hauk looked very much back on her game in the Prince of Wales's at the Royal meeting and, with the step back up to 1½m promising to be in her favour, may provide a bigger threat than Irish Derby winning stablemate Benvenuto Cellini. Masquerade Ball is also closely matched with the selection on last year's Japan Cup form.
