Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Two Tempting
Two Tempting holds a narrow edge over the main dangers on these ratings, sitting a couple of pounds ahead of Storm Star and three clear of Oliver Show, with the consistent Tribal Chief also meriting respect in what looks a competitive Class 2 over the Goodwood mile. Storm Star is the most obvious threat given the small gap between the pair, while Oliver Show will not be out of it if reproducing recent form, but Two Tempting's superiority at the head of the rankings is enough to edge this on balance. Two Tempting is our selection.
