Goodwood Tips: Markaz
Like his sister Mecca’s Angel, he is getting better with age and his record on good to firm is excellent.
The top-5 in the betting for the Lennox Stakes (3.10 Goodwood) are separated by a mere 2lb on official ratings and the race is more open than the market suggests.
Markaz is a consistent Group performer and he can add to his Chipchase win by scoring at Glorious Goodwood.
Holding off Pretend on the all-weather was no mean feat and must rank as a career best for the 4-year-old. Equally effective over 6f or 7f, his main requirement is fast ground or Tapeta.
His record on going descried as good to firm or Tapeta is 4124311 and his defeats have been by a small margin. His full sister Mecca’s Angel got better with age and the same could be true of Markaz.
