Saturday´s Stable Quotes With AT THE RACES Stable quotes for Saturday2.30 GOODWOOD JACK SULLIVAN Gerard Butler´s stable manager Chris McGrath says: “A terrific debut for us when second in the UAE 2,000 Guineas in March, but he has taken time to retrieve his form since returning to Europe. We cannot agree among ourselves as to his best trip, but he´s not been in better shape since his return.”3.05 GOODWOOD MENHOUBAH Clive Brittain says: 'She´s the best of our three-year-old fillies and her only disappointing run as far as I´m concerned was the most recent in France. She ran a long way below expectations there, so we decided to give a break and bring her back with the Yorkshire Oaks as her main late-summer target. She´s fresh and well - hasn´t exactly been burning up the gallops lately, but she has been doing enough to encourage us.'3.35 GOODWOOD COCONUT PENANG Peter Chapple-Hyam says: “I think the Royal Ascot run took more out of him than I thought and I wouldn’t give up over seven furlongs. Despite his action I don’t think he’d want it to soft so fast ground isn´t a worry.”PERUVIAN CHIEF Nick Littmoden says: 'He didn´t acclimatise too well in Dubai but, despite the fact that he wasn´t thriving until the end of his stay, he showed he retained his ability with a good short-head second to Bishops Court at Newbury in May. He´s been prepared for the Stewards´ Cup and, given the breaks, I´m sure there is another big handicap in this horse. He could do with some help from the handicapper - he hasn´t seen much of that over the past year - but he has run well in the Stewards´ Cup before and obviously loves the track at Goodwood.”4.45 GOODWOOD EMERALD PENANG Peter Chapple-Hyam says: 'He’s rated 78 which is high enough but should be ok for one nursery at least and I might well move him up to a mile. He’s definitely improving.”
