Making good late headway, CARNAGEO finished runner-up in a handicap at Ayr earlier in the week and can go one better on these terms. Richard Fahey’s charge is weighted to beat last month’s Goodwood winner Can Can Sixty Two, who only landed a seller over a longer trip. What Wonders Weave and Alliteration are next best at the weights though both arrive out of form and Rosemay may prove a bigger threat on her recent second in soft ground here.
