Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 78

11/10

Showed nice improvement from first to second start last season when going close over this C&D. Ran up to that level on recent comeback from lengthy absence. Hood replaces cheekpieces and sets the standard.

2/1

Gelded son of Helmet out of a Barathea mare. Price rose from 17,000 gns as a foal to £60,000 as a yearling. Bred for this trip and a likely type on debut for a stable flying at present.

Gaudi (11/10), Thaayer (2/1), Jalaad (5/2), Make Haste Slowly (12/1), Brockagh Cailin (25/1), Tralee Hills (33/1), Smiles A Lot (33/1), Amy Kane (33/1), Sir Magnum (33/1)

Following a lengthy absence GAUDI did well to run up to the promise of his second start last year when returning recently. He acts on this surface and sets a clear standard of those with racecourse experience. Two debutantes stand out with Godolphin's Jalaad and in particular Thaayer for a trainer who can do little wrong at present.
