Goodwood Patrons' Handicap
2m
Going: Good (Good to Firm in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneA very competitive contest but the marginal preference is for LYDFORD, who caught the eye when staying on well in a 1m4f handicap at York last month. Roger Varian's gelding is a half-brother to the Gold Cup and Goodwood Cup winner Big Orange, which suggests that he should relish this step up in trip. East Asia has won impressively twice since arriving from the UAE and he is an obvious threat to the selection. Others to note are Call My Bluff, Ship Of The Fen and True Destiny.
