FLYING CLOUD may take some stopping in this company; Polly's Mark, Rosika and Motrice can scrap it out as the best of the rest. The last named has the typical profile of a Sir Mark Prescott improver - she is yet to be tested at this level but has a willing attitude and shouldn't be underestimated. Rosika has ground to make up with Polly's Mark judging from their encounters at Haydock a short while ago. But she does know how to win at Goodwood and, granted luck in running, she could be a surprise package. Polly's Mark goes well at this time of year and has shaped as if her turn is coming back around. However, she has a bit to find with the selection and needs everything to go her way. Having won last year's Ribblesdale Stakes at Ascot, Flying Cloud has a real touch of class and, as her second in a Group 1 at The Curragh last month sets a good standard, Flying Cloud can be a strong fancy to appreciate today's ease in grade.
