Dunelight loves Goodwood, but if he can give weight to a Gr1 filly over what would seem to be her best trip then I would be very shocked. She has run brilliantly in two Gr1's over a trip that stretches her.

On form there is nothing to suggest Dunelight can get within three or four lengths of her. If this was a handicap, she'd be carrying 4lbs more than Dunelight, but because of the conditions of this race, she is actually recieving 10lbs from him....... so she is 14lbs well in with Dunelight, that's a stone!!!!!!!
