EARTH SHOT's Goodwood listed form received a boost when the winner ran a cracker in Group 1 company in France over the weekend and Wathnan Racing's new purchase might be worth siding with to get the better of Legacy Link, who sets the bar high on her Oaks second but this comes only 13 days after that big effort. Johanna Walsh promises to be suited by 1½m and may prove best of the remainder.
