Forecasts

Big Orange (6/4), Stradivarius (6/1), Wicklow Brave (8/1), Us Army Ranger (8/1), Sheikhzayedroad (10/1), Dal Harraild (10/1), Simple Verse (12/1), Desert Skyline (14/1), Qewy (16/1), Higher Power (20/1), Pallasator (25/1), She Is No Lady (33/1), Sweet Selection (33/1), Prince Of Arran (33/1), Oriental Fox (50/1), High Jinx (66/1)

Verdict

BIG ORANGE will be a tough nut to crack once again after his win at Royal Ascot last time out and provided he copes with slower ground, he will be hard to peg back in his bid for a third straight Goodwood Cup. Qewy was running well in Australia over the winter and has proven he's capable at this level while Sweet Selection is still progressive and she's proven in the conditions.
  1. Big Orange
  2. Qewy
  3. Sweet Selection
