Race Tip

KALPANA (11) returned with a determined neck success in the G3 Aston Park Stakes tackling 1m4f at Newbury and her strong Ascot record makes her the one to beat. Sets the standard holding leading claims. JAN BRUEGHEL (6) was second in the G1 Coronation Cup over 1m4f at Epsom and brings top-class for Aidan O’Brien. Represents the main danger. French raider GOLIATH (5) impressed landing the G2 Grand Prix de Chantilly contesting 1m4f. Holds course-and-distance form. Makes appeal. GIAVELLOTTO (4) managed third in the G1 Dubai Sheema Classic attempting 1m4f at Meydan and warrants respect. Not dismissed.
