Goodwood 16:10 Odds Comparison

Physically-imposing type who was progressive when winning twice (including over 2m) from 4 starts for Christophe Ferland in France, and having joined present yard for €105,000, he finished an encouraging fourth in a competitive 1½m York handicap on return. Major player back up in trip.

Lightly raced in recent seasons, but after 7 months off he confirmed himself still capable of borderline useful form when winning 9-runner handicap at Salisbury (1¾m) 24 days ago, only his third start for current yard. Task is now to build on recent run.

Front runner who made first start since leaving Raphael Freire a winning one in 6-runner handicap at Ffos Las (1¾m, heavy) in September, putting his stamina to good use. Has gone well fresh in the past so could make a bold bid back up in trip.

Winner of 1¾m handicap at Yarmouth in summer 2024 for Marco Botti. Has since developed a positive profile over hurdles for current yard, winning twice and again shaping well when sixth of 10 at Sandown (2½m) 6 weeks ago. One to note back on the level.

Successful twice last year, scoring at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) in September, and also won 4-runner contest at Nottingham (1¾m) on return. Ran to a similar level when third of 4 at Lingfield 12 days ago, unsuited by steady pace. Has career-high mark to overcome, though.

Took advantage of reduced mark when ending lengthy losing run in 6-runner handicap at Newbury in April, though was seen to maximum effect from the front. Failed by a long way to back that up when well held in the Chester Plate last time.

After 5 months off, proved at least as good as ever on first start since leaving Michael Appleby when winning 5-runner handicap at Thirsk (1½m) in April, scoring emphatically. However, well held at Ascot last month and needs to prove himself at this longer trip.

Got back to winning ways at Sandown (1¾m) last summer but ended 2025 on a low-key note and hasn't returned in much form, last of 4 in handicap at Lingfield 12 days ago. Hood now reapplied.
