Race preview
This revolves around Francesco Clemente and whether the unbeaten son of Dubawi is ready to step up to Listed company. The Gosdens have been patient, which has resulted in an unblemished record so far, but he has been off a fair while, whereas EL DRAMA is fit from Dubai. The Roger Varian-trained entire so nearly landed the Jebel Hatta before running with credit in the Dubai Turf, and he actually beat all bar Baaeed in a Group 3 on his only previous Goodwood appearance. King Of Conquest is progressing nicely and deserves a crack at this sort of prize.
