The Thames Boatman
Multiple AW winner; quirky sort who often starts slowly but he finally got off the mark (in a change of headgear) on turf in 5f Goodwood handicap last month; up 3lb but he can make his presence felt again.

From the connections
“The Thames Boatman needs pace in his races and looking at this race beforehand I knew he'd get that today, so that was an advantage. He's at his best when he has something to aim at, but he made life harder for himself by hanging in the last half a furlong. We do think he's a smart horse, especially on the all-weather - Finley Marsh, jockey.”
