Alan Dudman previews Friday at Goodwood with a big price each-way double
Watch Friday's Racing Only Bettor
Searching for a top level sprinter these days is akin to roaming the Green Wood like Maid Marion, and while the field will troop down merrily to the stalls for the Group 2 King George, how many will be flying at the end of the 5f?
If Asfoora is the best we've got as a favourite at 3/14.00 then we ought to be looking for bigger priced alternatives and the one I am siding with is Frost At Dawn. While the ground has to be a worry as she's barely raced on soft in her career thus far, she is fast.
Her second in the King Charles III over 5f at Ascot behind American Affair was a career best - recording a Timeform figure of 116 which surpassed her previous two runs in the campaign of 107 (a win) and 103. There was no question of her fading up the stiff finish as she pressed Jim Goldie's runner all the way to the line.
Previously she made all to gain Listed honours at Haydock over 6f and don't see dropping back to 5f a problem as she has pace. The extra ability to see out six furlongs could help her if she handles some cut. It's a big IF but a chance worth taking with the sprinting division looking fairly desperate.

Bulletin is another unproven on soft, but with all the soft ground horses likely to be cut in the market for Friday, this is the time to go against the crowd and the betting is likely to be pretty turbulent.
Drying ground will aid Bulletin's chances as will the step up to 1m3f here, as he looks as though he'll get the trip.
His recent third at Sandown to Dangerman reads well as he travelled all over the Godolphin-owned winner for much of the race when smuggled up the inside, but the stamina powers of the winner proved too much. Indeed, the halfway point showed Dangerman pushed along like a three mile chaser with smooth and serene progress from Bulletin on the inside.
Her certainly looked ahead of his mark on that run and the faster track will play more to his strengths than the Sandown finish and he can win races from a rating of 80.
