Verdict

An excellent opportunity for the high-class CALANDAGAN to record a first Group 1 win having not been seen to best effect when runner-up on his last 3 starts at this level. The likely strong pace will suit St Leger winner Jan Brueghel and he rates the main threat ahead of Hong Kong Vase winner Giavellotto.

  1. CALANDAGAN (IRE)

  3. GIAVELLOTTO (IRE)
