Verdict

Aeonian made a winning debut when scoring at Yarmouth last year and steps up in trip for this but AL MUBHIR has a recent run under his belt. The St James’s Palace entry will be sharper for an outing at Goodwood behind Dawn Of Liberation, now rated 107, and is fancied to go close. Awaal and Phantom Flight are recent winners with the former debuting on Turf.
