Verdict
Trawlerman and Lazy Griff best pair, both improved considerably for fitness.
Parade ring updates
5 Rahiebb (first entry below) - getting increasingly keen rather than settling, concern.
1 Amiloc - probably best sighting of him all year, although others jump out more.
2 French Master - always presents well, fine for him but no particular standout.
3 Illinois - looked poor before winning at Ascot and coming back to himself now, better presentation.
4 Lazy Griff - best sighting all season, has tightened up considerably, no longer carrying any condition.
5 Rahiebb - unusually keen for him, strong and ready to get on with things. Sturdily built, best fitness presentation of the year.
6 Scandinavia - solid, muscular physical type, no obvious change from Ascot and doesn’t jump out.
7 Trawlerman - undoubtedly tightened up since Ascot, sharper definition, doesn’t have a shine to coat but typical of him.
8 Miss Alpilles - lean and slender filly, looks well with good level of fitness.

Cieren Fallon: "He's a very special horse, he's a yard favourite. I had to go to Plan B today because things didn't work out how I thought they were going to but he's tough. He doesn't do much in front so it wasn't ideal I was in the middle of the track with no contest but when he felt a bit of pressure down on his outside, he knuckled down and he was tough to the line.
"I've got a lot of confidence in this horse, he's got a lot of speed, he's very versatile. I was always confident I was going to catch Kieranbut I was always aware that James Owen's horse stays very, very strong and was going to be challenging me late on because I knew he was following me when I forced him wide early. He's kind of frustrating because he didn't do a stroke up the home straight until he felt the pressure. It stands him in good stead for tomorrow [in the Sussex] - if we go tomorrow - because he hasn't had a hard race.
"I can't see why you wouldn't want to go there. He loves the ground, he's not really having a blow, it was very easy for him today. Probably to the eye it didn't look it but I know this horse and he's had an easy race."
Verdict
Rogue Diplomat best, both Marvelman and Witness Stand have got very warm late on.
Parade ring updates
3 Marvelman (first entry below) - very sweaty now.
7 Witness Stand (first entry below) - now getting a lot keener, pulling.
5 Qirat (first entry below) - starting to liven up a bit.
1 Holguin - strong, very fit, relaxed, all good so far.
2 Lake Forest - lean, has got quite warm already, coat could be a little better.
3 Marvelman - washed down, very fit, plenty of rib on show, very racey type.
4 Poet Master - strong type, fit but a little keen early here, needs to settle.
5 Qirat - little quiet early on here, fit but you'd like to see him wake up.
6 Rogue Diplomat - stepping up in grade here but does not look outclassed; lovely mover through his paces, appeals.
7 Witness Stand - two handlers and red hood but behaving well, just a little on his toes, wouldn't jump out at you, but fit.
8 Lord Britain - for all he's a big price in these contests, he always looks well, solidly built, not out of place.

Kaiya Fraser: "First of all I want to thank all the owners for putting me on and trusting me, this is a great day I'm very happy and happy to get the job done for them. You saw today, he had to get a push into the stalls because he obviously had that experience last time out where he got a bit nervous but luckily he's a willing horse and he went in with a bit of encouragement and he got out and got the job done today. He's obviously quick enough as a two-year-old but in time you'd think he might stay a trip. He's by Sottsass so we're looking forward to what the future holds for him.
"It means everything, this is what we wake up for every morning. I've put so much hard work in to get where I am today and all the people around who have helped me, my agent James Forrest and all the owners and trainers who put me up. I'm very grateful to them and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them."
Verdict
Al Hudaiba best.
Parade ring updates
1 Al Hudaiba - very lean, harder over quarters than at Newmarket, plain and unassuming type though, doesn’t jump out.
2 Dr Rascal - good looking type, has plenty of chest and size, likeable.
3 Haffner - lovely, big bodied and free moving colt, easy going, similar to Newmarket.
4 Pikachu - strapping type, workmanlike appearance, wears over reach boots so not walking out well in prelims, fine but no better.
5 Ruler's Control - very fit, professional, nothing much to find fault with.
6 Undiscovered - little plain compared to some of these, fair level of fitness but doesn’t jump out.
Full result
1. AL AALI 11/2 joint-favourite
2. Noble Horizon 13/2
3. Night Breeze 14/1
4. Tony Montana 18/1

William Buick: "George was very sweet on him today. He's only got 8-10, it takes a bit of focus to get down to that weight but he was worth it.
"George has really sweetened him up and he sort of emphasised it, when he's happy he travels along and he's not a horse you can bully. Once he got in the clear he picked up really good, a nice start to the meeting.
"Beautiful ground, it's like a carpet. I don't think Ed and his team could have done a much better job to be honest."
Verdict
Yabher and Al Aali preferred.
Parade ring updates
1 Liberty Lane - fair level of fitness, have seen presenting better for all he’s fine.
2 Bolster - very fit but has been keen throughout preliminaries.
3 Torito - needs the run, further fitness to find.
5 Yabher - catches the eye early, has quality with high level of definition.
6 Henlein - good level of fitness, moves well, better than a lot of these.
7 Diego El Queso - doesn’t appeal through the coat, sweating heavily, others preferred.
8 Wave Rider - needs the run.
9 Quai De Bethune - looked disappointing at York and hasn’t improved.
10 Night Breeze -
11 King's Code - sturdily built type, presenting similar to usual.
12 Dhahabi - okay, no better than that - definition behind.
13 Rathgar - sweating, others make more appeal.
14 Noble Horizon - doesn’t appeal on fitness compared to a lot of these, sturdy sort but better types available.
15 Tony Montana - still doesn’t look spot on, another run to put him there.
16 Al Aali - backs up quickly and appeals on fitness, very tight.
17 Parole D'Oro - has got very sweaty but typical paddock behaviour.
18 Twisting Physics - good level of fitness, fine.
Betting update
Coral are the official betting partners for the Qatar Goodwood Festival presented by Visit Qatar and their David Stevens said just after 10:00: “In the feature Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup, the battle to start favourite could be as fierce as the on-track rivalry between Scandinavia and Trawlerman. The former remains favourite at 6/5, but the latter has been clipped into 13/8 from 2/1 and could close the gap in the market, with the duo racing off level weights this time.
“Ger Lyons would not be a frequent visitor to Sussex and his Diego El Queso has been well supported to take the opening Coral Chesterfield Cup Handicap. The Irish raider is the 10/3 favourite from 5/1, having replaced Oli Rix’s Noble Horizon, who has eased to 6/1.
“Godolphin and Ballydoyle dominate the Coral Vintage Stakes betting with Al Hudaiba and Haffner respectively, although Ralph Beckett's Undiscovered has been backed to down the big guns. The dual Salisbury novice winner is 5/1 from 8/1.
“This is always an important week for Wathnan Racing, whose Final Objective has been popular in the British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden. Seventh in the Coventry Stakes last time out, the son of Sioux Nation is 7/4 from 4/1.”
