Lion Of Alba disappointed at Newmarket last time, but we fitted a tongue tie that day and I'm hopeful that will have helped him. We've been looking forward to stepping him up in trip, as he's out of a Galileo mare and there's plenty in his pedigree to suggest that a mile and a quarter will really suit him. If he sees it out as we expect, I think he should be very competitive.
Adaay Of Scarlett has been a model of consistency this season. He's had five starts, finishing first or second in all of them, and he's really done us proud. There are a few
different pieces of form coming together in this race, but he's tough, genuine and very reliable. This looks the right level for him, and he certainly deserves his chance on a stage like this.
Neither of our runners has been particularly lucky with the draw, Mia Fantasia is probably going to be an even better horse when he steps up to a mile, but this still looks a nice race to run in and it's a great opportunity to give the owners a day out at Glorious Goodwood. He's definitely got ability and the return to quicker ground should suit him much better than the conditions he faced last time.
High Hazard has improved noticeably since being gelded and we're pleased with the progress he's made. Unfortunately, he's come out with the worst of the draw, which is far from ideal around here, so he's going to need plenty to go his way. Even so, he's in good form and hopefully he can show the improvement we've been seeing at home.
Mr Seagull hasn't been handed the easiest draw either, although it's not quite as bad as it could have been. I'm hoping it won't prove too much of an inconvenience and that the race will suit him. If things fall into place from his wide berth, I'm looking forward to seeing how he gets on.
