Racing Post verdict
Third-partyCalandagan tops our figures on 131, narrowly ahead of Goliath on 128, and arrives on the back of four wins in his last five starts for F-H Graffard. Goliath, Kalpana and Minnie Hauk provide the leading opposition, with Kalpana and Minnie Hauk tied on 121 some way further back. Confidence is low in this Ascot Class 1, but Calandagan's strong recent scoreline makes him the selection.
