J: Oisin Murphy

T: Michael Herrington

C&D winner who has had a fantastic run this year, winning his last four races on good to firm ground, over 6f and 5f; at the age of nine he seems to be closing in on his best-ever form and he has won off a slightly higher mark than today's in the past; Oisin Murphy up for the first time; much respected.

J: Conor Whiteley

T: Michael Herrington

Arrives in fine form and bidding for a hat-trick following back-to-back 6f wins here, emphatically making all on latter occasion; has won over the minimum trip too so rates a big player under a 4lb penalty.

J: Gina Mangan

T: Edward Bethell

Largely progressive form; ran a cracker on what was effectively her seasonal return (unseated her rider soon after start on reappearance) when fourth of 15 in 5f Ayr Listed race (soft) in June; travelled strongly close to the pace in 6f York Group 3 (good to firm) since and the return to 5f could suit back in handicap company; part of a strong hand for Ed Bethell.

Lightly raced and progressive filly; ran a cracker on what was effectively her seasonal return (unseated her rider soon after start on reappearance) when fourth of 15 in 5f Ayr Listed race (soft) three weeks ago, nearest finish on that occasion so this return to 6f could suit; something to find on form but could have bigger performances in her.

9st 9lb

J: Pat Dobbs

T: Dylan Cunha

Front-running winner of two AW races for this yard, at 6f and 5f; 0-9 on turf but he had big tasks either side of a break and he's likely to find this sharp test more to his liking than the one at Pontefract 13 days ago, when he was headed only near the line; likely to give a punchy show.

Much improved when an easy winner at Wolverhampton (5f) in February but well below par in Chantilly Listed race (5.5f) and handicap at Royal Ascot (5f) since; no surprise to see him bounce back here.

J: David Egan

His two Ascot defeats came at the Royal meeting when a big outsider; arrives on the back of an easy win at Newmarket (5f, good to firm; visor reinstated) but a 6lb rise for that could leave him vulnerable.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: Tom Clover

He's on a hat-trick in this race and followed last year's win by also scoring at Windsor and Yarmouth (all 5f on good to firm in cheekpieces) in August; no wins since but he didn't get much cover when midfield over C&D one week ago and his race record means he can't be discounted; also ran well sole previous go in a visor.

Two no-shows at Goodwood were at this meeting in 2023, including this race; however, provided the track doesn't pose any problems, he could be interesting after strong finishes in the Dash at Epsom and last time at Chester where a slow start was the last thing he needed; he should be coming home to some effect.
