R ace Summary

In this competitive contest marginal preference is for HORTZADAR, who has dropped to an appealing mark after his recent lacklustre efforts. The David O'Meara-trained gelding may be able to bounce back to form and gets the tentative vote in these calmer waters. Good Birthday must be respected after a decisive win at Yarmouth last time out, while General Lee completes the shortlist. Win: HORTZADAR Danger: Good Birthday

Only two fillies have won the Goodwood Cup since the Second World War – Gladness (1958) and Allegretto (2007).

Hatta, winner of the 1977 Molecomb Stakes, has the distinction of being the first ever horse to run in Britain for Sheikh Mohammed Al Maktoum, who has gone on to establish himself as one of the world’s leading owners and the founder of the hugely successful Godolphin stables.
