Re: Sandown 3rd July 4.00 10f, Class 1 listed Tranquil Tiger will set the pace here & will be interesting to see if it can make all to land this for Cecil. As usual, Cecil has no doubt mapped out a plan for this 5yo after having 1 run at Goodwood just holding on in a listed event over this distance. prior to this, the horse ran 9 times as a 4yo with 2 wins over further in listed events. Confront has something to prove at this distance & the fast pace may be against it at the end. Covert Ambition has won 2 from 2, the latter being ist handicap debut over 10f. It is rated some 11lb below Tranquil Tiger & only gets 3lb off it here. Democrate was formerly trained in France by Andre Fabre & makes a debut for Godolphin. Guarino makes its debut for Gary Moore but hasnt run for over 600 days. Halicarnassus got close to Tranquil tiger last time at Goodwood but doesnt win often & has to be caught right Kirklees hasnt been seen since its exploits at Nad Al Sheba however could be the one for the forecast. Its UK listed form stands up & Dettori rides this one of the 3 Godolphin entries Tranquil Tiger 4/1 with Paddy power guaranteed odds looks good value to me
