One of Cape Cross toughest performers through the years has been the admirable Halicarnassus, a winner involving 10 of his 67 starts, including the G2 Superlative Blind levels at two and G2 Bosphorous Mug.
Now seven, he proved he is still a force to be reckoned with when winning one of the season’s most competitive being handicaps, the Old Newton Glass, under visiting Australian jockey Hugh Bowman.
It is a wide open race nevertheless one who appeals most is Chiberta King (1. 1 out of 3), who did not apparently relish Goodwood’s peculiarities previous time but was a detailed second over this trip which course earlier. He will have a partner, Irishman Seamie Hefferman, who knows this track sufficiently.
Apart from Fame And Glory there is absolutely no outstanding horse in your staying division. Even the bookmakers are struggling to find a worthy favourite for any 3. 15 Goodwood Glass.

In a wide available event it pays to side with the progressive horses in the hope they end up better than their uncovered form. After winning their last two races Chiberta California king fits the bill.
Still lightly raced, this a few year-old is improving that further he goes. Last time out at Sandown he extricated himself with a horrible position, winning despite getting boxed in all the way up the home straight. He prevailed by a nose from Aaim To Prosper and really should comfortable confirm the placings today.

He was a comfy winner at Goodwood in June, which proves the crna can handle the idiosyncratic track. At double figures odds he is worth a small choice.
