There are few more obvious Group One winners-in-waiting than Francis-Henri Graffard’s gelding CALANDAGAN, who scooted away with the Group Two King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot last summer by six lengths and has finished runner-up at the highest level on his next three starts. Things have simply not panned out for him in his two most recent outings – he had traffic problems in the Champion Stakes in October and was too far off a steady pace in the Sheema Classic at Meydan in March – and prior to that, simply came up against a very strong and superbly-ridden opponent in City Of Troy, in the International Stakes at York. Some punters may look for an alternative on the basis that finding one too good is starting to become a habit, and Giavellotto, who was five lengths adrift of Calandagan in the Sheema Classic, has a squeak on his Group One-winning form in Hong Kong in December, while Jan Brueghel, last year’s St Leger winner, also has claims as he steps back up in trip after surrendering his unbeaten record over 10 furlongs last time.
