Forecasts

Cross Counter (11/8), Dashing Willoughby (11/4), Spanish Mission (9/2), Withhold (6/1), Summer Moon (12/1)

A modest numerical turnout for the Group 3 Henry II Stakes, but the chances are that there'll be plenty of competition for the lead with the 2018 Northumberland Plate winner Withhold, the 2019 Cesarewitch third Summer Moon, and the 2019 Queen's Vase winner Dashing Willoughby all perfectly adept at setting the early fractions. Should such a pace tussle develop, Spanish Moon may be found wanting for stamina, playing firmly into the hands of William Buick aboard CROSS COUNTER. The Godolphin-runner (winner of the 2018 Melbourne Cup) was recently a remote third to the brilliant Stradivarius in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot.
