Many A Star has been in good form at Goodwood lately and won over 6f here in May but this drop back to the minimum poses several questions. Cairn Gorm also has limited experience over 5f and looks held by WHENTHEDEALISDONE on their run together over course and distance in July. Roger Teal’s sprinter should be suited by a slight easing of the ground so gets the vote. Celsius won here in April and at Newmarket in July but the bubble was burst at Goodwood last time. Get It’s run over 6f at Windsor can be ignored, however, and Ready Freddie Go is another with claims in a tricky finale.
