Racing Post verdict
Third-partyReal Gain heads this wide-open field narrowly ahead of Alpha Crucis on identical ratings, with El Matador and Crest Of Fire also breathing down their necks at just a pound behind, making this a genuinely competitive puzzle over nine furlongs at Goodwood. The good-to-firm ground and a large field of eighteen will demand a sharp performance, and any one of several rivals could make the running awkward. That said, Real Gain holds the joint-highest figure in the race and merits respect at the head of affairs. **Real Gain** is the selection, though punters should be aware the margins here are wafer-thin.
