2nd Themaxwecan 6/1 - 70
3rd Laafy 11/4 - 55
3rd Platitude 10/1 - 55
Kings Advice runs away with this and there is good reason. First being, he won this race off 108 last year, he comes here on a mark of 104. He is 2/2 over C&D, both were on Good-Firm ground just like today, in fact that brings me to his last 2 races, i think we can ignore them. Firstly he has never won above this distance, and i would be sure he is not best on soft which it was last time. Back on very quick ground, he will be a lot happier. Joe Fanning and he have great form together and he is 6lb lower than his career high where he came 2nd, beaten a neck at Salisbury, less than a year ago. He has big claims coming back to Goodwood.
Themaxwecan won at Goodwood over 2m last year, however he is 9lb higher in the handicap since then. He loves this ground and his stats on good-firm look solid - 1, 2, 1, 5, 2, 1. Although you could argue that 2m is is distance, he has run well over 1m 6f, and a track like this, thats undulating could paly to his strengths. He could run well but he does have to go off a career high mark.
Based on his runs, i presume that they think Laafy needs rain, he has won on heavy and soft but has won on Good-firm, most of his runs though have been on the softer side. His last win was a handicap, nothing really has worked out from that race, but he won it so easily that it may not matter. He was put up 9lb in the handicap for that win and then went on to run very well in a Handicap that have worked out better with La Don De Vie coming 3rd about being very unlucky at Goodwood yesterday, thats a nice form boost. He is 12lb higher now and the worry is he may need rain, but he looks to have potential to go higher.
Platitude is a twice C&D winner, and ran well last time out at Sandown. His last win was actually over C&D off 3lb higher, so if he runs to that then he certainly has ew claims. Good-Firm is perfect for him. He could run a good race.
My Selection: Kings Advice 11/2
