Going - Good to Soft. 
View all races Draw Analysis Result Odds Compare

Formscan  - A winner at this corresponding fixture last year, GREAT ACCLAIM has plenty going for him and can prove there was no fluke about his Goodwood Festival success last week. A 5lb penalty might not be enough to prevent the four-year-old from adding to his tally. Sondad boasts convincing credentials and stepping back up to 7f is well worth exploring, while Mister Bluebird and King's Lynn are others with excellent chances based on their peak form.
