Goodfellow’s analysis
Beaten a neck by the Nunthorpe-bound
El Astronaute in this race 12 months
ago, FINAL VENTURE is fancied to go one better and gain compensation today.
Although yet to win on the Knavesmire, the selection has often recorded fine efforts in
defeat at this venue and his career best performance was achieved behind Take
Cover over 5f here in July 2017. He was unlucky to be picked off close home by
Stone Of Destiny at Ascot last week after beating off Danzeno and is narrowly pre-
ferred to Saturday’s Ripon scorer Dakota Gold who would ideally appreciate a little
more give in the ground. The presence of Caspian Prince and Jabbarockie, not to
mention Harome and Watchable should give Final Venture some pace to run at.

FAVOURITES: 2 2 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 3
2018: Phoenix Of Spain 2 9 1 (Jamie Spencer) 9-2 C Hills drawn (6) 8 ran.
Stall one has been a difficult berth to overcome in this race in the last decade (no
winner drawn one and only two drawn two) so the talented and highly progres-
sive Valdermoro is reluctantly shunned in preference for ETHIC who battled
on gamely to shed his maiden at Salisbury. Ethic hails from the family of Gran-
deur and Doncaster Cup winner Far Cry so a seventh furlong should be ideal at
this stage of his career and he posted a very likeable effort last month to score
emphatically. Cobra Eye must have a huge chance with his Goodwood win work-
ing out so well, while Persuasion holds a host of entries in all of the season’s
biggest juvenile events and he too was impressive at Goodwood after blowing
the start.

2018: Old Persian 3 9 3 (James Doyle) 7-1 C Appleby drawn (7) 9 ran.
John Gosden has adopted a softly softly approach with LOGICIAN this term
and the patience could be poised to pay off now that the talented son of Frankel
steps up into pattern company. Three victories have ensured the selection has
moved towards the top of the lists for the St Leger, but this is clearly a more
demanding task with the likes of Gordon Stakes winner and runner-up Nayef
Road and Constantinople in opposition. However, Logician has recorded speed
figures to suggest he can mix it with today’s rivals and a long straight and gallop-
ing track could well produce further improvement.

ELARQAM (York, 3.35) is in the
form of his life and can upset
hot favourite Crystal Ocean in
today’s Group One Juddmonte
International Stakes at York.
The one-mile two-furlong contest
on the opening day of the Ebor
meeting has had a smattering of
surprise results since it was first run
in 1972, most recently the 50-1 win of
Arabian Queen in 2015. Success for
Elarqam, trained by Mark Johnston,
would be nowhere near as big a
shock on the betting Richter scale,
but his recent form and course
record make him a contender.
Last time out, Elarqam had
Addeybb well-beaten in the York
Stakes over today’s course and dis-
tance, and his rival boosted the form
with his own easy win at Haydock on
Saturday. Elarqam, who has tri-
umphed in three of his five starts
this summer, has won on two of his
three runs at York.
Impeccably bred — his sire is
Frankel and dam the Classic-winner
Attraction — Elarqam was a Classic
hope as a three-year-old and finished
fourth to Saxon Warrior in last sea-
son’s 2,000 Guineas. His subsequent
form was below that standard, but
Johnston believes the colt is now
thriving after a stress fracture.
Crystal Ocean will be tough to beat
as he attempts to give trainer Sir
Michael Stoute his seventh win in
the race. He is still rated the best
horse in the world, but after finish-
ing second by a neck to Enable in a
titanic tussle in the King George at
Ascot last month, there has to be a
chance that battle has left its scars.
After Bustino and Grundy slugged
it out in their epic ‘Race of the
Century’ in the 1975 King George,
neither won again.
A tough race in Ascot in July last
year also took its toll on another
Stoute-trained horse, Poet’s Word,
who after winning the 2018 King
George was beaten in the Judd-
monte 12 months ago.
The Juddmonte has strength in
depth throughout the field, which
includes a trio of talented three-year-
olds. Circus Maximus and King of
Comedy finished one-two in the St
James’s Palace Stakes over a mile at
Royal Ascot, while Grand Prix de Paris
winner Japan has come a long way
since his fourth in the Dante in May.
There is also last season’s third,
Thundering Blue, and Cheval Grand,
who will be far better suited by the
quick ground than he was by Ascot’s
rain-softened surface when a
13-length sixth in the King George.
BLAKENEY POINT (York, nap, 4.15)
was fifth in last season’s Ebor. He has
missed out on making the first £1m
running of that race on Saturday, but
has a chance of winning a decent
consolation in the Sky Bet Handi-
cap. He has dropped in the handicap
and looks teed-up for the race.
