Verdict

Not many have been good enough to carry a penalty in this and Saayerr might struggle to confirm Goodwood running with Cable Bay on 3lb worse terms. Kevin Ryan trained last year's winner and Astaire has already won over course and distance. But he has more to do than when beating Coulsty at Newmarket and has already been beaten in this grade. MY CATCH made all in a Group 3 at Deauville last month and this easy 6f should suit his style of running. He can improve again to complete the hat-trick as Parbold was doing his best work at the finish over 7f at Goodwood last time. Wilshire Boulevard won a Group 3 at the Curragh last time but appears held by Saayerr on collateral form.
