Racing Post verdict
Third-partyWe're Goosers heads this 13-runner Goodwood seven-furlong contest narrowly ahead of Ghost Mode, Egoli and Aqpan, all three of whom rate within four pounds and represent the chief dangers on a testing good-to-firm surface. The selection will need to reproduce close to its best form to hold off that trio, and the closeness of the weights means little can be taken for granted. That said, We're Goosers holds a clear edge over the remainder of the field and, with conditions appearing in its favour, it gets the vote. **We're Goosers**
Racing Post pick: We're Goosers
