Verdict
Wait for the Will absolutely hacked up last time at Goodwood and was far more value than the official margin suggested. He looks difficult to oppose this afternoon. Prins Willem was given an uncharacteristically indifferent ride by Frankie Dettori last time out; whether he was truly an unlucky loser is open to debate but he should be good enough to at least fill the forecast slot. Celtic Style is potentially open to improvement and the market should be followed for any clues.
