Forecasts

Al Aasy (1/1), Al Qareem (13/8), Go Daddy (17/2), Sumo Sam (14/1), Roberto Escobarr (66/1)

Verdict

AL AASY looked as good as ever at Glorious Goodwood and might be up to defying his Group 3 penalty at a track where he runs well. April's John Porter runner-up Al Qareem failed to stay 2m in the Goodwood Cup and can bounce back to form and provide the chief threat.
