Bank Holiday weekend racing is sometimes dull, but not today. In the biggest race I, and many others, hope to see Motivado win as he did at Goodwood earlier in the month. Aljamaheer disappointed when he last carried the daughter’s tuition fees fund, again at Goodwood, but I hope for better this time. His trainer says he doesn’t want the ground to ease, which is a concern.

Goodwood 245: Arnold Lane
