Verdict
Boss Power and Valley Forge are closely matched on running at Goodwood in July while Protected Guest is back on a winning mark and is preferred to Rainbow Dreamer over today’s trip. The Gadget Man has been raised 7lb for winning over 2m at Chester while Praiano is fitted with a visor as he drops back down in distance. TRAILA needs to step up on his handicap debut effort at Newmarket last month but has the scope to do so on only his second outing for David Simcock’s yard and gets a speculative vote.
