GO NOW GO NOW beat subsequent winner Crownthorpe twice earlier this year and made a bold bid to complete the hat-trick over a furlong further at Windsor - he’s thriving on racing and is the one to beat in this. Dandiesque is gradually getting there and encountered traffic problems when second at Goodwood so looks more of a threat than Ragstone View and Alifax. The others appear to have some improving to do.
