Formscan  - Ice Max (fifth) would have finished closer in the Celebration Mile at Goodwood last time were he not denied a clear run, a contest which saw Make Me King finish two lengths ahead of him in fourth. The pair merit respect, as does Prague, who hit the woodwork in this 12 months ago, but it is SUITE FRANCAISE that shades preference. Charlie Johnston's filly made all to land the Dick Hern over C&D in comfortable fashion last month and in receipt of all the allowances, the progressive three-year-old could defy a rise in class.
