In depth
Verdict
Go Far benefited from a disqualification at Goodwood and was awarded the race having passed the post second. Soft ground is worry for him, however, though not for Intense Style, who was ahead of Hoof It when scoring at Doncaster last time. Shady Mccoy made a winning reappearance last year but is now 11lb higher than his latest success at Newmarket in September while little separated Reflektor and New Bidder at Windsor a week ago, though neither threatened the winner. Tatlisu remains below his best but CORNWALLVILLE may yet have more to offer for his new yard as the Listed winner in France went close to catching Intisaab at Ayr last month and has won on testing ground before.
