Happy Like A Fool was impressive at Royal Ascot but she will have been primed for that effort and softer ground isn't certain to suit. Soft ground is also a question mark for HAVANA GREY but with more progress likely and the yard in fine form, he's narrowly preferred. To Wafij wasn't far behind the selection last time and should progress again.
