In depth
Verdict
A wide open looking handicap with several interesting types involved led by SEE OF ROME off top weight who can be given a real chance on his third to a real improver at Goodwood last time. Key Bid is one who looks to have more to give although it's no surprise to see the headgear go on after he looked a hard ride last time and this course may not suit. Galactic Prince will appreciate the return to better ground while the 9lb rise makes life tougher for Sheriff Garrett but he can't be ruled out despite the rise in class.
