        Verdict

        Gobi Sunset disappointed when favourite at Goodwood but may do better back on a faster surface. He’s preferred to Irish challenger The Peckhampouncer and Aberama Gold of those with racecourse experience but this can go to a newcomer. Kuwait Shield is a half-brother to a winner and preferred to Jamais Assez but Charlie Hills’ yard has a good strike rate here and 140,000gns purchase Cotai Again could go well. BYLINE cost the same amount as the latter and the half-brother to smart stablemate Bogart and another useful sprinter in Blaine so gets the vote to make a winning start.
