Verdict

SUMMERGHAND put up a mighty effort in first-time headgear to defy top weight in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood and looks well up to winning at this level on that evidence. Last year's winner Raucous is having his first start of the season but can go well fresh and may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Ventura Rebel. who had excuses at York last time having been placed in the Commonwealth Cup.
