Ante-post favourite Far Above Dream features in a full field of 28 for the Coral Stewards’ Cup (3.35) at Glorious Goodwood today.
James Owen’s sprinter finished fourth in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot and is unbeaten in three starts at Goodwood.
Kieran Shoemark’s mount heads the betting at 13-2 with the race sponsors.
Far Above Dream was the first horse to be drawn at the Stewards’ Cup draw at midday, with Owen opting for stall 23.
Eight of the last ten Stewards’ Cup winners have been in the high-numbers half of the draw, but the two from single-figure stalls were both winning favourites.
Leading ante-post fancy Dance In The Storm failed to make the cut, with Saffie Osborne’s mount Toca Madera taking the final spot.
The last two winners of the race return in Two Tribes and Get It, with the first-named’s trainer Richard Spencer also saddling Run Boy Run and Candy.
Five apprentices have been booked to ride in the £250,000 handicap, including Mason Paetel claiming 5lb from the topweight Soldier’s Tree, also trained by Owen.
Sondad, recent winner of the Scurry Handicap at the Curragh, carries a 6lb penalty for that success and arrives in top form for Mick and David Easterby.
Stratusnine, successful in the Sky Bet Dash at York last Saturday, carries the same penalty, as do Dubai Bling, a winner on Summer Mile day at Ascot this month and the mount of William Buick, and King Of Light.
Ryan Moore maintains his partnership with the Harry Charlton-trained Wokingham runner-up Completely Random, who finished down the field in the International Handicap at Ascot last Saturday, and Moore’s son Toby claims 7lb from Hammer The Hammer.
