Jim Crowley: This horse could be better than Royal Scotsman

3.50 Newmarket – Sir Busker

He finished down the field at Sandown last month on his sole appearance this season. When you look at his form, he was third to Baaeed in the Juddmonte International in 2022, so he is clearly a talented horse.

He was off the track for a while following his trips to Riyadh and Meydan. Hopefully, he is over his problems now and he can step forward from that last run at Sandown.

4.10 Goodwood – Golden Arc

This filly has had just one outing so far. She failed to make an impression on the all-weather at Kempton last month. She is a well-bred filly but will need to show much more than she did on her debut on what will be her first start on turf.

4.45 Goodwood – Kathab

He is a decent horse who should not mind any give under the foot. I suspect he will get that, as Goodwood is going to be run on ‘soft’ ground.

I rode him to victory at both Ripon and Haydock earlier in the campaign. He has not fared badly on his latest two appearances. I do think he is off a workable handicap mark here, so I am optimistic about a big run.

5.20 Goodwood – Dream Of Mischief

This horse loves soft ground. He was a non-runner at Windsor earlier in the week so we could go to Goodwood where conditions will suit him better. He was beaten by less than a length at Lingfield last time out. A repeat of that performance will see him go very close here in the finale on this card.
