In-running (Shayem (IRE))

Sat behind the pace early - pushed along 3f out and two lengths adrift with 2f left - responded well in the closing furlong to hit the front inside the final 110yds - edged clear late then just held on at the line

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Talk Of New York

Talk Of New York enters this Goodwood mile rated 5 lb clear of Shayem and 7 lb or more ahead of the remainder, and that advantage is backed by the kind of consistent form that makes him a compelling choice at this level. Shayem and Andab are the most likely threats, with Saber Strike also capable of making his presence felt if conditions suit. On merit, however, Talk Of New York looks the one to beat. **Selection: Talk Of New York.**
