I hope Ravens Pass wins, I believe HTN has had a tough season and wont handle the Goodwood track. I predict 1st Ravens Pass, 2nd HTN, 3rd Major Cadeux.

'I hope Ravens Pass wins, I believe HTN has had a tough season'

Raven's Pass has had 4 runs this year.

Henrythenavigator has had 3.

Henrythenavigator has just had a 6-week break.

Raven's Pass last ran 17 days ago.

You're stupid.

Great race and i was pleased to see Ravens Pass show the promise he had shown as a 2yo.

Raven's Pass should have won but not many will agree with me. Well done Henry but I don't think the race enhances him as a great horse.

Jose,i dont agree,i think Ravens Pass is starting to show what a good horse we all thought he might be.

Both good horses IMO

I hope Henry goes for the Irish Champion and New Approach shows up. Good ground, 1m 2f, flat track and we'll find out who the best three year old is. My money would be on Henry.

Small field races with muddling pace rarely result in truly impressive performances. HTN did enough but Ravens Pass is improving and but for Henry would probably be the best miler in Europe. I think there's a good rivalry here and plaudits to John Gosden for taking him on. I'm sure he'll fancy his chances at Ascot in the QE11 of finding that extra half a length, although the ground may go against both horses come late September. I think NA would beat him over 10f as I think the extra 2 furlongs will blunt his speed, particularly if Bolger is sensible enough to run a pacemaker. Having said that I think we'll see the Duke in the Irish Champion, not Henry.

Ravens Pass is very underated, when he gets his ground he is very effective, as proved in its last two runs against HTN and also when destroying a Group 3 field last year at Sandown running a very fast time. if RP could get first run against HTN, he MAY be able to win.
