Racing Post verdict
Third-partyDuke Of Oxford has been progressing nicely and arrives here with a fitness edge that could prove decisive over this demanding twenty-furlong trip at Goodwood, where stamina and condition matter enormously. He sits narrowly behind the top-rated Maxi King on our figures, but a progressive profile suggests he may not yet have shown his ceiling, whereas Maxi King's rating reflects a more established level. Defiantly and Valiancy are respected dangers in a wide-open eighteen-runner field on good ground. **Duke Of Oxford** is our selection, though the low-confidence rating reflects the competitive nature of the contest.
