Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Everatease arrives at Goodwood rated a pound or two behind the top pair of Cilician and Shadow King, but it is her progressive profile that makes her the preferred call in a wide-open seven-furlong Class 2. She has been moving in the right direction and there is every reason to believe she has more to offer, which counts for plenty in a field where the top-rated runners may already be close to their ceiling. Cilician and Shadow King head the dangers alongside The Bookkeeper, and in a competitive 18-runner heat over this track nothing can be taken for granted. **Everatease** is the selection.
