Verdict
This looks a big ask for veteran Shavansky under top weight. Solaras Exhibition is much better when faced with a few sets of hurdles but Quest For More has to be interesting as he's consistent and got back to winning ways over this trip at Doncaster three weeks ago. ARABIAN REVOLUTION was beaten on his handicap debut at Newbury but far from disgraced and the winner is strongly fancied for a big handicap at Goodwood this week. The Godolphin colt can recoup losses as Warrior Of Light has been raised 3lb since last month's second at Goodwood.
