Verdict

Hard not to be positive about the majority in a typically competitive renewal of this feature 3-y-o handicap with the narrow vote in favour of ALHAMBRA PALACE. He's impressed in landing each of his last 2 starts, latterly at this trip, and he can make a bold bid from the foot of the weights for the stable that has landed this race in 2 of the last 4 seasons. Goodwood eye-catcher True Legend, the selection's stablemate Lordship and Vaguely Royal head up the dangers.

  1. ALHAMBRA PALACE
  2. TRUE LEGEND (IRE)
  3. LORDSHIP (GER)
