Goodwood 2.10 July29th

I got stuck on the first race as 3yo handicaps, like their 2yo counterparts, offer a challenge. Also they have all run in at least one truly run race so their ability is revealed, but not necessarily any further improvement?

2.10 GOODWOOD

97 C4 RIGIDITY

Conclusion: This ran in a hot class 4 handicap at York, over this distance, and in a marginally slower time than Imposing did on the day. Whilst the winner has not gone on to great things, Contract Caterer was behind and has. It is lightly raced, not having run since May, but with Henry Cecil as the trainer, it should not be a problem? Stable are certainly in form now and the course should not pose a problem. It may not be a confident selection because of the rise in class, but it will do for me in a race full of 'ifs' and 'buts'.

But of course, you all want to know what am turning down don't you?

In ratings order:

110 CAPPONI - One of many stepping up to 10f, but with 10lbs in hand?
106 RANSOM NOTE - Did not improve for the step up to 10f last time
99 INVINCIBLE SOUL - Late rattle will suit jockey in form, will 10f?
96 LONDON STRIPE - Better at this trip, but needs to improve. Danger
96 CUMULUS NIMBUS - Love the name, and the style of win last time. A player.
89 BEACHFIRE - Stepping up in grade, and not well in.
88 RIGHT STEP - Interesting, go back to April over this distance???
87 AATTASH - Course winner, but not a lot in hand on my ratings.
86 INGLEBY SPIRIT - Again, go back to April has a chance, but likes it softer?
85 CULTIVAR - Chester winner over 10f, but needs to improve.
82 ABERGAVENNY - Better at Windsor, like the above, needs to improve.
82 SOLICITOR - Interesting. Beverley win sound, but big rise in class.
80 FINEST RESERVE - More interesting, stepping up to 10f could help??

Those highlighted in RED are my ew suggestions.
Have a good day, Gerry
