Goodwood Race 4 - Virgin Bet Celebration Mile Stakes (Group 2)
JONQUIL (6) disappointed in the G2 Lennox Stakes at Glorious Goodwood. Capable of better having finished an excellent second in the G1 French 2000 Guineas at Longchamp during May. May bounce back to his best here. PERSICA (4) commands respect on the ratings following his fifth among G1 company at Munich (Ger) last time. MAKE ME KING (3) maintains a solid profile and cannot be ignored on the back of his comfortable win in the Listed Pomfret Stakes over 1600m at Pontefract. SAQQARA SANDS (7) showed a resolute attitude securing a dead-heat for first in the G3 Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood last time. Might continue her progression.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign 3rd in a small field at Sandown Park on June 14 over 1600m, 4 len behind Urban Lion carrying 64.5kg at $4.30. When resuming last campaign ran last of 14 at Kempton Park All Weather on March 29 over 2200m, 29 len behind Teumessias Fox with 62kg at $9. Looking to others.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. At the latest run 6th of 10 at Chantilly in the G3 Prix Messidor on July 20 over 1600m, slow going 4.5 len behind Quddwah with 58kg at $14. Before that held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Epsom Downs in the G3 Diomed Stakes on June 7 over 1710m, 0.8 len behind Persica carrying 61kg at $11. Better than last start so he deserves another chance.

Last start 5th of 10 at Munich in the G1 Bayerisches Zuchtrennen on July 27 over 2000m, 5.5 len behind Tornado Alert carrying 60kg at $9.80. The start before that won by 0.8 len at Epsom Downs G3 Diomed Stakes June 7 over 1710m defeating Ice Max with 62kg at $2.50. Looks hard to beat back in this easier level.
