Holguin has been fairly consistent in his last five starts, with three thirds and a win in that spell, and he returns just 17 days after his latest run. He has already raced over today's trip and going, and sits mid-table on our figures for this race.

Lake Forest tops our figures for this race, with a win and a second in his last five starts underlining his claims. He has already raced over today's trip and going, and the only note of caution is the 38-day gap since his latest outing.

Favourable weight of 9-6 gives a real edge in this handicap.
Marvelman has a win and a second in his last five starts and already knows today's trip and going, giving him solid claims as a danger here. Sent out after a 31-day break, the concern is a patchy campaign that has also produced an unplaced run and a ninth.

Poet Master is yet to win in his last five starts but has been competitive throughout, with two seconds in that spell. He has already raced over today's trip and going, returns 31 days after his last run, and looks capable of going close without getting there.

Qirat has a win in his last five starts but the finishes either side have been modest, including two sevenths in that spell. He has already raced over today's trip and going, and returns 31 days after his last run as one of the more interesting threats here.

Rogue Diplomat has two wins in his last five starts and clearly has ability, but he sits towards the bottom of our figures for this race. He has already raced over today's trip and going, and a 41-day break since his last run adds another question mark.

Witness Stand is yet to win in his last five starts but ranks second on our figures here, with a second among those runs showing his ability. He has already raced over today's trip and going and returns quickly, just 17 days on, though two unplaced efforts in that spell temper the case slightly.

Lord Britain has a win among his last five starts but is also fresh from a fifth, and sits bottom of our figures for this race. He has run over today's distance before, though the 42-day gap since his last outing is another concern.

Qirat (SR:114, 3/1) is the standout selection combining the strongest alignment of signals in this field. A 12% market move inward is meaningful in a Group 2 with only eight runners — that money has a reason — and the tongue-tie first application (HG:t) suggests connections have identified a specific improvement angle. A course winner (Course:W1P1) at Goodwood over this trip is a tangible edge on a track where course knowledge counts, and running off the same mark as the last win (MarkMv:=) means no penalty burden. The SR of 114 is not the field's highest but the ratings here are clustered, and Qirat's combination of course record, market confidence, and headgear change makes the case cumulatively stronger than any rival.
Each-way alternative: Marvelman.
Main danger: Lake Forest — Lake Forest (SR:123) is the highest-rated horse in the field at the top yard (Haggas, 22% strike rate) and its 16% drift from opening price is the only concern — if that drift stabilises or reverses before post time it becomes the most credible threat on raw ability.
