Another contest in which any number would have a chance on their best form. Another Wise Kid's third in the Portland at Doncaster is probably the best recent effort and Paul Midgley's seven-year-old shouldn't be far away again. Pipers Note makes a quick reappearance after finishing second at Beverley on Tuesday and Richard Whitaker also has claims with Love Island. Ayr Silver Cup fourth Barnet Fair couldn't be ignored and stablemate Kimberella will be helped by Anna Hesketh's 5lb claim. Eccleston and Arctic Feeling also go on the short-list while Perfect Pasture continues to tumble down the weights but Enlace saves her best for Goodwood. SEE THE SUN is now 5lb lower than when winning a valuable handicap at York last year. He hasn't managed a victory so far this season but was second off a higher mark at Newcastle on good ground in June and has had excuses since - today could be his day.
