ARABIAN SPIRIT (yet another Dunlop contender!) gets the nomination. Nice To Know and Koraleva Tectona are forwarded as the main dangers in the finale. The last named has struggled with the handicapper since winning at Pontefract in June. Still, she is open to further progress at this trip and, having been dropped a couple of pounds by the assessor, Pat Eddery's filly can give her supporters a good run for their money. Nice To Know is a previous course and distance winner that is better than recent form figures would have you believe. The four-year-old has the assistance of Ryan Moore in the plate and, as this is her time of year, she cannot be discounted. However, this is an ease in grade for Arabian Spirit and, as the son of Oasis Dream still looks to be progressing nicely, he is taken as the most solid option in Goodwood's lucky last.
