14:35 Goodwood

This is a fiercely competitive renewal as the betting is suggesting but I thought PROP FORWARD stood out as being a bit overpriced. He won 2 from 4 as a 3yo and then made a winning return at Southwell showing a smart turf of foot to quickly settle matters. He clearly hasn’t been the easiest to train as we didn’t see him again until the summer where he ran a very nice race to chase home Nationwide and Ayr Harbour which is solid enough form. He looked better than ever winning on return at Kempton last month and up 4lb with more to come yet he may well follow up here. Reigning Profit arrives on a hat-trick but both those wins came at Pontefract and he will find this tougher. Dream Composer impressed winning at Newmarket last month and he might even emerge as the main danger despite a career-high mark.

Prop Forward - 1pt @ 9/2
