SANTIAGO can outshine Stradivarius in the Group 1 Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup (3.15) as Glorious Goodwood begins today. A fourth victory in the two-mile test would see Stradivarius break records, but Santiago, winner of the Irish Derby and Queen's Vase, receives 15lb from the favourite, tipping the scales in the three-year-old's favour.
TOMORROW'S DREAM, from William Haggas' in-form stable, makes appeal in her handicap debut. After a promising second at Newbury, she was unlucky not to win and can overcome a 3lb rise.
ALTERNATIVE FACT has performed well this summer and can improve over 12 furlongs. The Ed Dunlop five-year-old was squeezed for room last time but still finished second, and now steps up in distance.
BATTLEGROUND, a son of War Front out of Arc winner Found, is a worthy favourite for Aidan O'Brien. After a promising debut and a comfortable win in the Chesham Stakes, he can handle the step up to Group 2 level.
SPACE BLUES, a seven-furlong specialist for Charlie Appleby, can claim this prize before returning to top company. He was second in the Jersey Stakes last year and has since won a Group 3.
