Three-year-olds used to dominate this Group 3 but the classic generation's strike rate has begun to wane in recent years and it may be worth opposing Stipulate today as he's already been found wanting three times in this grade this year, though does have the beating of Tales Of Grimm on recent Goodwood running. TAZAHUM was beaten a length-and-a-quarter by Green Destiny in this 12 months ago but can go one better today. He came right back to form at Newmarket earlier this month and can reverse April running with Questioning on this quicker ground and 4lb better terms. Dubai Prince beat Fury here last month and didn't stay 1m4f at Goodwood subsequently but the form of Barefoot Lady's win over 1m2f here four weeks ago hasn't been franked. A bigger danger may be the consistent Side Glance, who should appreciate the return to 1m having been unable to quicken over 1m2f in a Group 2 here last time.
