Racing Post verdict
Third-partyDocumenting heads our figures on 86, with Havana Blue, Cancan In The Rain and Arantes Nascimento all rated 84 behind him — but Arantes Nascimento is our selection. His progressive profile, with places in five of his last six starts, wins us over even though the very best figures lie elsewhere. Documenting himself is markedly on the up after his latest second, while Havana Blue and Cancan In The Rain both arrive with solid recent form of their own, and all three loom as the main dangers. Confidence in the selection is moderate on a competitive-looking renewal.
