Glorious Goodwood Tips
I couldn't believe the price he was and told the lads to back him. Donnas Palm had been running in very good company but is a little bit of a lad and the blinkers helped. The last day at Leopardstown he looked like he had a chance turning in but the next thing he was gone! He probably wants further than two miles and he needed every inch of it there. It was a race he had a chance of winning on ratings and he jumped well. I don't know where I'll go with him now, he won't be going to Cheltenham or anything like that. He is rated high enough but wouldn't be good enough for the Powers Gold Cup either - we'll look for something a grade below that and he'll get 2m4f.
