1

El Astronaute

8-y-o. Prolific winner and has run well at Goodwood but not quite as good this year. Needs to return to best.

2

Jabbarockie

8-y-o. In fine form this year until last (finished lame) in G2 in May. On career high handicap mark. Tough task.

3

Desert Safari

Won over this course and distance in May and on same handicap mark but not up to tougher tasks since. An outside chance.

4

Sunday Sovereign

Not won since 2019. Well beaten last month and this. Probably needs soft ground.

5

Ornate

Sixth in this race last year. Well beaten last month. Not well handicapped.

6

Blue De Vega

8-y-o. In decline and an unlikely winner.

7

Zargun

Trained in Germany until this year. Not won since 2019. Promising runs in May, well beaten in tougher races since. Not well handicapped.

8

King Of Stars

Improved since joined Michael Appleby. Career best when just beaten in competitive handicap this month. Good chance.

9

Only Spoofing

Won this race at Goodwood last year. In fair form this year, including when runner-up last month. Needs more.

10

Embour

Not at his best this year and an unlikely winner.

11

Lord Riddiford

Better on all-weather surfaces than turf. Not won on turf since 2018. An unlikely winner.

12

Recon Mission

Last in this race last year (stumbled). Well beaten in latest races. Not well handicapped.

13

Rewaayat

Lightly raced 6-y-o. All three wins over 1200m and ran well over that trip at Goodwood last year. Beaten favourite on last four runs.

14

Ishvara

Out of form this year and an unlikely winner. Best on soft ground.

15

Saaheq

Well beaten twice this month before better effort five days ago. An unlikely winner.

16

Glory Fighter

Ran poorly on only appearance at Goodwood. In moderate form this year and an unlikely winner.

17

Pettochside

Admirable 12-y-o. Won seven of 25 races at Goodwood. Running well but surely too tough a task.
