Formscan By Tom Weekes - Irish Derby-winner LOS ANGELES is the pick, amongst some middle-distance heavyweights. His Classic success came between English Derby and Prix de l’Arc third-placings and while he would prefer 1m4f, today’s race is a helpful 110 yards further than when beating White Birch this month. Admittedly well-held by Anmaat in October’s British Champion Stakes, the selection was hampered then while the race also came 13 days after his fine Arc effort. Anmaat has progressed with racing and relishes soft ground, but needs to produce his best form to win on seasonal reappearance. Last year’s winner White Birch should compete while Kalpana won October’s British Champion Fillies %26 Mares Stakes but now meets males racing over a slightly inadequate distance.
