Verdict
Danzeno’s participation may be in doubt as he was due to run yesterday at Goodwood. JASH, last seen in last year’s Commonwealth Cup at Ascot, goes well fresh and has had wind surgery in the interim. He is potentially in a different league to these including stablemate Graphite. Glen Shiel has to concede 6lb but has coped well with the drop back to 6f and won here in June before finishing second in a Group 3 at Deauville. Yafta won a Group 3 in 2018 but hasn’t scaled those heights since.
