Race preview

There was just a few lengths separating Perotto (seventh), The Wizard Of Eye (sixth) and ESCOBAR (13th) when the trio met in the Golden Mile at Goodwood last Friday, and the latter shades preference. A subsequent ease in the handicap leaves David O'Meara's charge on a 5lb lower mark than when winning over 7f here last October, and the likelihood of a strong gallop ought to further aid his chances. Empirestateofmind is also noted.
