Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Premiere Ligne
Premiere Ligne arrives here on a progressive profile and with a fitness edge that makes him an appealing proposition despite sitting a few pounds below the top two in the ratings, and on soft ground over this staying trip at Goodwood those attributes could prove decisive. Moon Over Miami heads the ratings narrowly ahead of Blazeon Five and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Maxident also poses a threat at a notably lower rating. The confidence here is modest, but the upward trajectory and fitness edge tip the scales towards Premiere Ligne.
