Jim Crowley Glorious Goodwood Day Five rides blog: 'He's in great form'

I was keen for this horse to come here even before his win at York last week, so I’m delighted we line up.  He never wins by far, as we saw last week, but he’s a clever horse who generally does enough.  He has a five pound penalty for the York win, but I’m sure there’s more to come from him despite that.

Runners have been coming up the stand side this week, so a draw in stall eight might not be ideal, but I’ve won this race before from a low draw, and can probably come up the middle here anyway.  He’s in great form, and while this is a hard race to win, I wouldn’t swap this fellow and hope we can go very close.

This is a beautifully bred Shadwell colt who won well at Sandown last time, and I am sure there is plenty more to come from him.  He’s another who isn’t ground dependent, a rise of two pounds from the handicapper doesn’t look harsh, and I think he has a big chance on what could be an important day for the Shadwell team.
