Forecasts

Motakhayyel (5/2), Duke Of Hazzard (11/4), Positive (6/1), Regal Reality (7/1), Marie's Diamond (15/2), Beat Le Bon (14/1), Accidental Agent (14/1), Bless Him (25/1)

Verdict

Motakhayyel looks well worth his place at this level having won two of the big 7f handicaps of the summer, and he's fully effective at this trip, so is shortlisted, but preference is for DUKE OF HAZZARD, who has run many solid races at this sort of level, including over a trip on the sharp side at Goodwood last time, and deserves another big win for his consistency. Beat Le Bon missed Goodwood to wait for fast ground, and ran better than the result behind the selection in the Celebration Mile last August. He needed his return quite badly, but is capable of running well at a price.
  1. Duke Of Hazzard
  2. Motakhayyel
  3. Beat Le Bon
