These really are early thoughts for Goodwood tomorrow.
2.15 Sagramor, best current price 11 would leave 6.6 or 7.4 needed in running.
A progressive type, up 6lb for winning the Brittania and before that the Betfred Bowl, proving he can handle big fields, wasnt stopping either time and may get this longer distance with ease, a trade is a distinct possibility either way. Sift Alhaarth at a huge price may also trade, stall 2 for this front running horse.
2.45 Amour Propre, best current price is 6.4 and would leave either 3.8 or 4.2 needed in running.
Looked to be coming back to his best at York last time out and should come on for the race, eleven career races has seem him available to trade in ten of them, and that's despite not winning a race for more than two years, the negative here though is the draw, drawn 11 is not that brilliant, may drift in price?
3.15 Fox Hunt, best current price 10.0 (9/1 at SJ) which would need a lay off at 6 or 6.6 in running.
As a four year old he is the most progressive in the field and is the one who has the scope to improve more than any other in the race, Mark Johnston has a cracking record in this race and he has the help of SDS again in the saddle, a difficult race to weigh up especially with Fox Hunt up another 2 furlongs but he is in top form and should be up with the pace.
3.45 Its hard to look past the fillies but I'll take a chance with the mare Pollys Mark, best current price 21 leaving a lay of price of 12.5 or 13.5 in running.
Twice a runner at Goodwood and runner up in this race last year she gets on well with Richard Hughes, never worse than 4th when ridden by him from seven rides. She will need to improve on her recent form but is capable of running well enough to trade.
4.55 Bertiewhistle, best current price 16 which would need lay off prices of either 9.6 or 10.5.
This is a much harder Class Two than the one he won at Chester last time out, but he won that race with such authority that their may be more to come from him, versatile regards the going and seven furlongs seems ideal.
