Burdett Road heads this 14-runner Goodwood staying contest on a rating that leaves him narrowly ahead of Tarriance and a handful of pounds clear of the next group, and his profile over this sort of trip on a sound surface gives genuine cause for optimism. Tarriance and Nightime Dancer are the most obvious threats, with Hopewell Rock also meriting respect in a race where the principals are closely matched. The 14-furlong distance on good-to-firm ground at Goodwood should suit a horse of Burdett Road's profile, and with medium confidence he is taken to see out the test better than his rivals. **Burdett Road** is our selection.
