THE OLYMPIAN was narrowly beaten at Goodwood when stepped up to today’s trip. Alan King’s charge should be in the mix once again and is preferred to Mind The Crack, who went close over 1m2f at Kempton before beaten over a mile and makes more appeal than stablemate Anyonecanhaveitall. Artistic Language, Travel On and Brasca step up in distance having all run well on their latest outings while the newcomer New Expo is related to a host of winners and represents Hugo Palmer’s in-form yard.
