Verdict
Some of the newcomers have decent credentials and the betting should reveal more clues about their prospects. However, it will take a useful sort to lower the colours of KIYOSHI who made a very promising debut in a Newmarket maiden that's working out extremely well. Frequent runner-up Memory Styx again looks vulnerable.[Steve Boow]

Close fourth of 17 in traditionally decent maiden at the Newmarket Craven meeting, staying on nicely from mid-division; step up to 6f should suit; that form is working out well (the next five behind her, plus a couple further down the field, have won since) and she's very much the one to beat.

This can go to KING OF THE DANES (nap) who looks another typical Mark Johnston improver and his Musselburgh second to Romantic Settings looks very solid form. He was always in command when going one better at Ascot next time and although 6lb worse with the fourth, Swift Bounty, is confidently expected to confirm his superiority.[Adrian Cook]

Verdict
A key piece of form is the 7f handicap here 19 days ago which featured four of today's runners. George Guru came out on top and may be open to further improvement on turf, but third-placed THE CONFESSOR was making his reappearance on that occasion and may be able to reverse the form with the outing under his belt. The 2011 Vintage Stakes winner Chandlery still needs to prove he retains all of his ability but it will be interesting to see what he can do back at Goodwood.[Steve Boow]

3:45 Goodwood Height of Fashion Stakes (Listed Race) (Fillies) (1) 3yo 1m 1f 192y Going : Good - Stalls : Low
Verdict
Based on what the runners have already achieved, this looks a substandard renewal and none of these fillies are entered in the Oaks, though it's quite a competitive race in its own right. Some of those stepping up from handicap company could well prove up to the task, the suggestion being TRAPEZE who has met plenty of trouble in two runs this season, looking unlucky here last time. Heading North and Contradict can also make their presence felt, while respectable Listed form is represented by Cheshire Oaks fourth Elik and Irish raider Harmonic Note.[Steve Boow]

Successful turf debut at Folkestone almost 12 months ago but just a couple of respectable efforts since; reappearance was one of them but was comprehensively beaten only previous start here and not easy to predict.

Done all her winning on Polytrack and added another at Lingfield in March; however, pick of turf form of similar merit and of interest off career-low 3lb lower mark back on turf (ran well here off much higher two years ago).
