Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Northcliff
Northcliff rates level with Perfect Location at the head of this ten-runner Class 5 sprint over six furlongs at Goodwood on good-to-firm ground, and a fitness edge tips the balance in his favour as our selection. Perfect Location is the most obvious danger and cannot be dismissed lightly given that rating is shared between them, while Newsreader and Veil Of Clouds, a pound and two pounds adrift respectively, are capable of making their presence felt on this surface if either is sharper than anticipated. The confidence here is modest, but that fitness advantage on a track where condition can prove decisive gives Northcliff the edge in what looks a genuinely open contest. Northcliff is our selection.
