Full House On Target For Invesco Perpetual Goodwood Stakes Full House, who enjoyed the finest moment of his career when capturing the Ascot Stakes at Royal Ascot last month, is set to reappear in the £50,000 Invesco Perpetual Goodwood Stakes, run over two miles, five furlongs on Wednesday, August 1, the second day of Glorious Goodwood 2007.The versatile eight-year-old, who held off the late thrust of Juniper Girl - who went one better next time in the Northumberland Plate - to score by half a length at the Royal Meeting, has a course success to his name at Goodwood, having recorded an impressive four-length victory in the De Novo Stakes over two miles on May 24. Trainer Paul Webber revealed today: 'The plan for Full House is to go to Goodwood for the Invesco Perpetual Goodwood Stakes. He'll probably get a speculative entry in the ABN AMRO Goodwood Cup [the following day] also, in case Geordieland frightens everybody away! 'We were thrilled with him at Royal Ascot. I thought I had spoiled his chances there, as he went up 8lb for his Goodwood success, but he was in fantastic form going into the race, and won really well.'The going is very important to Full House - we have been waiting for some proper Summer ground, and that is why he has not run since Royal Ascot.'He is in very good form now and I cannot wait to run him. I'm looking forward to getting him back on the track.'Mark Johnston always sends a strong team to Glorious Goodwood and the master of Kingsley House Stables is set to be represented by lightly-raced three-year-old Drumfire in the #150,000 totesport Mile, run on Friday, August 3.Having taken the prize twice in the past 10 years with subsequent Group One winner Fly To The Stars (1997) and Riberac (2001), Johnston certainly knows the type of horse required for the very valuable handicap. Drumfire showed high class form as a juvenile last term, taking the Group Three Solario Stakes at Sandown before finishing unplaced behind this year's Epsom Derby hero Authorized in the Group One Racing Post Trophy at Newbury. The son of Danehill Dancer made a fine reappearance at Newmarket on July 12, chasing home Traffic Guard in a mile conditions event, and is rated a 16/1 with the sponsors for the totesport Mile, for which he has been allotted 8st 10lb. 'Drumfire is heading for the totesport Mile. He had an injury to a hind fetlock joint, which is why he was off the track for so long, but he is fine now,' revealed Johnston today.'I was very happy with his Newmarket effort and there was certainly no disgrace in coming second there. He has come out of the race in good form and I would hope that he has come on for the run.'He was a very, very good two-year-old and would have been a Guineas runner had he not had the injury. I rate him very highly and we have waited for this race. He will probably step back up to Group class immediately after the totesport Mile, although we have no specific targets in mind.'Glorious Goodwood lasts for five days starting on Tuesday, July 31 and ending on Saturday, August 4.
