Portledge ran another solid race at Goodwood having won at Newcastle before that while both Nezar and Treacherous won lower grade handicaps on their latest starts with the latter finishing in front of Ubla. Crafty Madam has a chance back at this level though Lightning Charlie has done all his winning over 6f so far. DARK SIDE DREAM has also been keeping better company than this and, dropping back down in class today, Chris Dwyer’s charge gets a speculative vote in an open contest.
