Verdict

Several of these ran at Goodwood on Saturday. Total Commitment ran a cracking race in the Stewards’ Cup with Tinto and Punchbowl Flyer behind, though the latter had a poor draw and is 3-3 here. Indian Creak and Treacherous were unplaced in the Stewards’ Sprint consolation. Lihou didn’t have much luck in-running when beaten a neck by Operatic in a qualifier for this here two weeks ago and is a pound better off. Be Prepared went close over 7f at Goodwood last week but EDRAAK was far too good for Tinto and A Sure Welcome here in June and trounced Capote's Dream over track and trip earlier. He bled last time but has been given time off to recover and may be fresher than most of his rivals.
