Raven’s must pass Henry for Sussex glory

WITH Ballydoyle in the middle of a purple patch, connections of Raven’s Pass are well aware of the task in front of them in Wednesday’s BGC Sussex Stakes at Goodwood.

Mastercraftsman’s imperious performance in the Phoenix Stakes on Sunday was Aidan O’Brien’s 15th Group One victory of the season, and he has highlighted Henrythenavigator as his best chance of the week at the Glorious meeting.

With the dual Guineas winner having beaten Raven’s Pass twice already this season, the odds are stacked against John Gosden’s colt turning the tables, but he did close the gap considerably between Newmarket and Royal Ascot.
