Glorious Goodwood 2016: Goldream to dazzle in King George Stakes

Goldream also has a good record fresh, so an absence of 125 days should not be an issue, and another plus is that he looks sure to get the strong pace to aim at that he needs to be seen at his best with the likes of Cotai Glory and Take Cover in the line-up.

Muthmir bidding for repeat success

Muthmir won the race 12 months ago by a head from Take Cover, so looks sure to make a bold bid to retain his crown.

The William Haggas trained six-year-old returned to form last time out, when staying on strongly to be beaten just a length behind Marsha in a Listed contest at York having come from an uncompromising position from well off the pace.

Muthmir may well turn the tables on that rival if ridden a bit more prominently and his proven ability to act on the track is a big plus.
Easton Angel another key player

Easton Angel an intriguing contender

Easton Angel finished 3/4 of a length in front of Muthmir when runner-up at York, having looked all over the winner until collared close home and beaten a neck.

The Michael Dodds’ trained filly cruised into contention after showing bags of early dash and jockey Paul Mulrennan may well have pushed the button too early.

Easton Angel looks the type that needs to be produced at the latest possible moment, as she has only one burst of speed and downs tools when in front, but is clearly a classy sort well up to winning a race of this nature when things do drop right.
