The five day Glorious Goodwood Festival begins with a competitive handicap. CASTLE COVE (16) returned after eleven month absence with a 1.75L success in a lower level Chester handicap over the distance last month. Leading player. DEFIANCE (10) ran well on return producing a 5.5L fourth among this company tackling the trip at Epsom Downs early June. Improvement expected. Big claims. JOLLY JACK TAR (15) represents notable connections. Enhanced a promising profile with a 3.25L victory making handicap debut tackling 1m2f at Chelmsford City AW. Interesting. GREY CUBAN (3) is proven at this level securing a win contesting a 1m2f Chester handicap eighteen days ago. Ticks plenty of boxes.
