Verdict

Many of these have a point to prove for one reason or another. SPIRIT MIXER probably isn't quite the same horse that he was when just edged out by Trueshan off a 12 lb higher mark in the 2022 Northumberland Plate, but there was enough in his latest effort over a marathon trip at the big Goodwood meeting to make him of strong interest here under a talented French rider. Beamish and Fox Journey both look dangerous, but they could all be in trouble if Irish raider Samui makes the cut.

  1. SPIRIT MIXER
  2. BEAMISH (FR)
  3. FOX JOURNEY
