Racing Post verdict
Third-partyHavana Mojito heads our ratings and brings the right credentials, finishing second here eight days ago in a performance that marks him as the one to beat off today's terms — the weight swing from that run works in his favour. Dion Baker has won three in a row including at this course and distance and is clearly the main danger, though he carries more weight this time, which could be decisive. Starsong and Joycean Way make the race wider still. Havana Mojito is our selection.
