THE WARRIOR should have exactly what it takes to win a nice prize at Goodwood.

Pulborough trainer Amanda Perrett loves a winner at her local track perhaps more than anyone in the land and looks to have a likely sort in the former Ballydoyle inmate.

The Warrior, a four-year-old son of Exceed And Excel, never quite kicked on for Aidan O'Brien, despite having won the oft-informative Big Bad Bob Maiden at the Curragh last March.

Now under the capable stewardship of Perrett, a race like the seven-furlong winnerevents.com Stakes is surely well within his compass.

Not a lot was probably expected of him in the Victoria Cup at Ascot a fortnight ago – hence his 20-1 starting price – but he ran much better than his eighth-placed finish might suggest.

He was, after all, only beaten three lengths by Flash Fire, with few runners in the 26-strong field finishing faster than Perrett's representative.

Happily for his connections, the handicapper was nonplussed by that run and has removed another 1lb ahead of his latest assignment.

Having once been rated 106 during his days in Ireland, he could feasibly be very well treated in a race his trainer won back in 2013.

Just as important is the fact that Ryan Moore is back on board, while the forecast rain cannot be viewed upon as a negative as the ground was heavy when today's nap selection won at the Curragh last spring.

Mick Channon's team remain in super health so now is not the time to abandon FITZWILLY, who runs in the Construction Day Stakes.

The six-year-old stayer won this two-mile affair 12 months ago and although he is now much higher in the weights, his comeback run at Bath bodes very well with this in mind.

Having his first outing since a spin over hurdles in November, Fitzwilly ate up stacks of late ground under Silvestre de Sousa but the line came too soon in what was a good handicap for the prize-money.

The gelded son of Sixties Icon finished third, beaten just half a length, but this represents a terrific opportunity to gain imminent atonement with the same jockey.

Today's feature race is the Listed Height of Fashion Stakes, which is better for the purists than from a betting perspective.

A strong field of smart, unexposed fillies has been drawn to the party with slight preference for CAJOLED, who convincingly won a Nottingham handicap and should be in her element over this longer trip. Moore takes another ride.

ROGER THORPE ran way too freely at Nottingham last time but the strong Marc Monaghan can help keep him under control for the concluding Sharow Apprentice Handicap at Ripon.

QUALITY SONG was not beaten far at all on his last visit to Lingfield and should again run honourably NFRN Handicap back at the Surrey circuit.

Victory at Sandown could be a formality for HIGH SHIELDS now he tries his hand over a mile and a quarter in the BetVictor Breeders Backing Racing EBF Maiden Stakes.

Rain could come in extremely handy for FIGHT COMMANDER, who holds every chance in the Download The Ladbrokes App Handicap Chase at Worcester.
