Patrick Sarsfield escapes carrying a penalty for last summer’s Group 3 victory at Leopardstown and Joseph O’Brien’s charge should be in the mix. Solid Stone beat Stormy Antarctic over a mile at Windsor and the latter went on to win a Listed race over today’s trip at Goodwood. Father Of Jazz could only manage third when favourite for the Winter Derby won by Forest Of Dean with FELIX (NAP) beaten less than a length in second. The latter went on to place behind Lord North in a Group 1 race at Meydan in March and Marco Botti’s charge can go close with a similar effort. Euchen Glen won the Brigadier Gerard at Sandown in good style with Fox Tal behind but this faster ground is a worry while the handicappers Blue Cup and Dawaam are upped in class.
