Verdict

BLUE DE VEGA is not a frequent winner, but comes here in form and should have no excuses. Dash runner-up Pettochside didn't fire at Goodwood's big meeting, but had excuses, and should be competitive, while bottom-weight Jack Taylor is proving consistent as a rule, and isn't one to dismiss despite being out of the handicap proper.
  1. Blue De Vega
  2. Pettochside
  3. Jack Taylor
