Newcastle winner Man Of Eden was engaged in the 8.20 at Goodwood last night. Royal Dubai won on the Dirt at Meydan in November and a Chelmsford novices' race last month so should handle today's condition though faces a stiff task. The front-running Saxon King will have plenty going for him on this track and will be difficult to catch but TAFREEJ (NAP), who has only had five starts, all over shorter, has run very well in strong handicaps at Newbury and Goodwood and could prove the one to beat. Sophia's Starlight is taking a big step-up in grace after winning a Class 5 handicap at Wetherby.
