Verdict
Euchen Glen is a full 14lb lower than when unplaced in this last year. The nine-year-old had no luck in-running behind Trawlerman at Goodwood and he still very capable at this level if not quite the force of old. Alfred Boucher won over 2m here on Wednesday, for which he has a penalty, but he is clearly in good form. Calling The Wind has stamina in abundance but doesn’t win as often as he should. Get Shirty has had a brilliant campaign and Enemy has been highly tried since last running in a handicap. EARL OF TYRONE has been brought along steadily by Paddy Twomey and may still be a step ahead of the handicapper so is preferred to the Haggas pair Gaassee and Candleford. Okita Soushi and Ever Present also travel over from Ireland with obvious claims and Valley Forge won the Melrose on this card 12 months ago and was also successful at Haydock in May. He met interference at Goodwood last month and is no forlorn hope.
