Pundit pick: Trawlerman

Trawlerman is our selection for this Class 1 contest at Goodwood, rated 129 and eight pounds clear of Scandinavia in second on our figures. Illinois and Amiloc also feature among the leading dangers, rated 119 and 116 respectively, but Trawlerman's advantage is the largest gap in the field. Selection confidence is medium, reflecting the strength of those chasing him home.
