Oxx happy as Saddler's Rock bids for Goodwood glory

John Oxx's Ascot Gold Cup third Saddler's Rock is ready for action as one of fourteen left in the Artemis Goodwood Cup on Thursday the 2nd of August.

The Saddler's Wells colt has been limited to two starts so far this year but his trainer is happy with his current wellbeing, having seen his charge finish well to take minor honours behind the Godolphin pair of Colour Vision and Opinion Poll at Ascot.

"He's in good shape. He's had an uninterrupted run since Ascot and he came out of the race well," Oxx said.

"He's been bouncing and working nicely. We haven't had chance to put him on the grass because of all the torrential rain we've had."

"However, we hope to get him on grass now before he goes to Goodwood. He's in good shape and hopefully he will have come on a little bit."

"Goodwood usually take a lot of trouble with their ground and hopefully it will be good - we don't want it firm either. Good, fast ground is ideal for him."

"We had a bit of a stop-start with him before Ascot. We had a great winter and spring with him and then he ran into a couple of little setbacks in the run up to the Gold Cup, so we had a bit of a struggle in the end to get him there as fit as we could have him."

"Obviously, (with) the way he finished in the race he was fit, but he's had a good run since then and I'm hoping the race will have sharpened him up and brought him on a bit."

Opinion Poll is not here to defend his title but new Ascot Gold Cup hero Colour Vision will represent Godolphin and will try to add this two mile prize to his two wins this year. His trainer Saeed bin Suroor could also be represented by the revitalised Cavalryman and Lost In The Moment.

As well as Saddler's Rock, there are two other Irish-trained hopefuls in the Willie Mullins-trained Simenon, winner of the Ascot Stakes and Queen Alexandra Stakes at the Royal fixture last month and Paul Deegan's improver, Midnight Soprano.

Seasoned campaigners such as Aaim To Prosper, Askar Tau and Times Up also hold entries while Rae Guest's Ed De Gas is the only three-year-old in the list.
