It was a strong race that RISKINTHEGROUND (nap) won cosily at Haydock and he got off lightly with just a 4lb rise.
With some very good horses on show here, GLENGOULY has been running poorly of late but this small field may just suit his strong front-running style.
If allowed an easy lead, he has very strong chances of taking this fifth race on the card.
- CONFUCIUS. I watched his win in Ireland and what stood out most was how green he looked during the early stages of the race. However, once he started to understand what was being asked of him, he simply took off and won almost on the bridle by nearly four lengths.
As always, Ryan Moore has had plenty of options and the fact he has chosen to ride this €1.7 million colt speaks volumes. Out of all the runners Aidan O\'Brien sends to the race, this is the one Moore wants to be on. If CONFUCIUS improves again from his debut effort, we could be looking at a very special performance.
