1

Atalis Bay

Has become disappointing. Gelded before latest well beaten run. An unlikely winner.

2

Equality

Improved and solid performances this year, all over 1000m. A decent chance.

3

Indian Creak

Series of solid performances this year but never raced at shorter than 1200m and unlikely to appreciate shorter trip.

4

Night On Earth

Becoming disappointing until better run last time when wearing cheekpieces for first time. In the mix.

5

Dusky Lord

Lightly raced winning 4-y-o who may improve enough to be competitive.

6

Celsius

Won both races this year off reduced handicap mark after disappointing 2021. This tougher but in the mix.

7

Lord Riddiford

Won this race last year. Not in same form so far this year. An outside chance.

8

Just Glamorous

9-y-o. Prolific winner but needs to step up on performances this year.

9

Stone Of Destiny

7-y-o. Record of 4-44 and 17 runs since last win. On much reduced handicap mark but tough task.

10

Rayong

Not as good nowadays. Does well at Pontefract – very different from Goodwood. An unlikely winner.

11

Embour

7-y-o. 6 of 7 wins at 1200m. Form steadily declined and an unlikely winner.

12

Lihou

Consistent and won last month but faces a tough challenge here.

13

Ornate

9-y-o. Prolific winner but losing run of 20, well beaten in this last year. Would be a shock winner.

14

The Defiant

Won three in a row in March but this is a big step up in class. An unlikely winner.

15

Duke Of Firenze

13-y-o. Likeable veteran but on long losing run and victory would be a huge shock.
