Eminent would benefit from some time off the track

Tomily
Fourth, 5f handicap, Sandown, Friday, July 7
This three-year-old, who has won three times in his career, looked magnificent in the paddock, but for one reason or another he couldn’t go the early pace and seemed detached at the halfway point.

However, as he hit the rising ground he started to make rapid headway and finished off strongly at the end. He made up a serious amount of ground and can surely win again on this evidence.

Fellow three-year-old Fethiye Boy defied a 6lb penalty. He was ideally drawn in stall three and Ryan Powell kicked him into the lead before holding on by a head. He would be hard to catch on the downhill track at Goodwood.
