An open-looking nursery to start proceedings. Daddies Diva won over 5f on soft going here in May but was well beaten on her only previous try over this trip. COASTAL MIST was aiming too high last time at Goodwood and will appreciate this big drop in class. He ran well enough on a rain-softened surface at Ripon in June to suggest he’ll handle conditions. Leapers Wood could also go well making his handicap debut and What A Business is usually thereabouts. War of Clans left previous form behind when second over today’s distance at Ripon but there could be ground concerns for Stars In The Night.
