A high draw can be a real disadvantage on the sprint course here so we'll look beyond Goodwood winner Threave and the three-year-old Perardua, who has drawn a short straw again. But Costa Filey should confirm recent course and distance running with Whitecrest and Ask The Guru and can't be ignored while Bob Cowell's pair, Indian Tinker and The Wispe, should be in the firing-line. ROCKET ROB has won four times over this course and distance and has been more like his old self lately. He's now 8lb than the last of those victories in 2013 and well enough treated to end his losing run having got an ideal berth in stall three.
