A tough and competitive handicap with plenty that will fancy their chances of grabbing this valuable prize and Mark Johnston has a couple of chances with Soldier In Action and Jaameh and he’s a trainer to always respect in these Goodwood handicaps. Blakeney Point will be suited by a return to a longer trip and along with Getback In Paris looks sure to run a sound race. Mainstream is one to be wary of despite his seemingly consistent form and it’s his stablemate SHRAAOH who gets the vote here after taking the runner-up slot in this last year and running well in these sorts of contests since. Platitude is another one from the Sir Michael Stoute stable that is in with a chance here and will appreciate the drop in grade with Saigon City another capable of a bold show.
