A very tricky race to unravel and Scarlet Dragon was entered yesterday at Goodwood. Richard Hannon's stable has won two of the last six renewals and has two entered this year. Winter Rose had no problems getting off the mark over this trip at Kempton but ZEBADIAH also looked progressive when scoring at Newbury last month so gets a narrow vote. New Caledonia probably failed to get home over a mile at Windsor last time having pulled hard and should be suited by a return to 7f but Academy House and Melabi disappointed last time. Drifting Spirit has more to do than when winning at Beverley.
