Verdict

INVINCIBLE ARMY just missed out at Goodwood on his racecourse debut. He had Folk Tale back in fourth and the latter went on to beat Devil's Cowboy while the re-opposing Tathmeen finished over six lengths behind the selection at Goodwood. James Tate’s colt can open his account on that evidence. Of the newcomers, Godolphin’s Tribal Quest is a US-bred half-brother to a winner while Robinson Crusoe’s winning half-brothers both scored as two-year-olds.
