Persian Royal (11/10), Ascending (11/4), Two Tempting (3/1), Mango Boy (7/2), Hot Chesnut (10/1), King Lewlew (22/1)

ASCENDING was value for extra when landing a Goodwood handicap in June and with the prospect of further improvement from this 3-y-o, he's fancied to overcome a 4 lb rise. That age group may well dominate this race, with Persian Royal and Two Tempting feared most.
