Accusation, Wraith and Praxiteles are the three to look at here with Accusation the selection, to make experience count. Praxiteles is a full brother to Islington and he will appreciate this longer trip, having been noted staying on in a decent Newbury maiden. He will be a popular choice here but may go off at a false price. Wraith looks very exposed but has shown some form last time-the performance of Grande Caiman his conqueror last time should be watched earlier-and may be the most reliable performer in the field. Accusation was fancied last time at Goodwood. She went into a clear lead but got tired on the soft ground and had to settle for second. She is well related to classy stayers, and has the best form in the field. Accusation can prove her doubters wrong.
