Mark Johnston has won both previous renewals and Goodwood second Mister Rockandroll is one of many with claims. Chelmsford winner My Strategy has a shout stepping up in trip and Master Zephyr went close over 1m2f off today's mark at Bath last time. Others to consider now handicapping for the first time include Parole and Rock Lobster but KISUMU is just preferred. The latter made the frame at Beverley over today's trip on his reappearance and should be sharper for this with a first-time visor also applied.
