It's a pity that a minor injury scare has cast a shadow over Rip van Winkle's attempt to land a Group 1 in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood. According to the ratings he will be hard to beat despite being up against two Royal Ascot winners in Ghanaati and Paco Boy. Ballydoyle/Coolmore's intentions are pretty clear, so doubt he will run if not fully fit and expect him to further boost Sea The Stars form lines. Unusually none of the outsiders appeal but Beacon Lodge might run well if there is plenty of rain.
The Vintage stakes looks very open with Richard Fahey's pre-Ascot well touted filly She's A Character taking on the colts. Considering the stable's run of form, she might be worth a second look.
enjoy....
