William Hill Epic Value Handicap
7f

Based on the provided Timewise ratings, here is the analysis and assessment of the top contenders for the William Hill Epic Value Handicap at Goodwood:

1. Light And Dark – Total Rating: 444.8
   Light And Dark is a useful handicapper but hasn’t performed exceptionally in two outings in Dubai earlier this year. While he is below his last winning mark, which was in 2020, there are other contenders in this race who appear more compelling. Light And Dark will be fitted with a hood for the first time.
2. Physique (IRE) – Total Rating: 414.9
   Physique showed promise when winning a race lacking depth at Newmarket over 7 furlongs on soft ground in October. However, he failed to last over the 1-mile trip on his return at Chelmsford. With the application of a tongue tie and a resumed progress back in trip, Physique needs to step up from this mark.
3. Mitrosonfire – Total Rating: 405.2
   Mitrosonfire achieved success at Newmarket in August and maintained good form throughout 2022. After a 6-month break, he returns with a 3-pound increase from his last winning mark. While he has shown consistency, a career-best effort will be required to win this race.

Darkness (FR), not included in the Timewise ratings, has a good record with plenty of solid efforts. With positive comments regarding his runner-up position at Epsom and more positive tactics, Darkness looks interesting and should be considered as a top contender.
