Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Pellitory heads our figures on 100 in this Class 3 contest over 7f at Goodwood, though only narrowly – a single pound separates him from both Defence Minister and Bobby Bennu on 99, with Oliver Show a further pound back on 98. It's a blanket finish across our top four, and with 20 runners in the race this is one for confidence over certainty. Defence Minister and Bobby Bennu look the most obvious dangers, with Oliver Show also capable of running into the frame. On the narrowest of margins, Pellitory remains our selection.

Racing Post pick: Pellitory
