GULLIVER looked on great terms with himself when winning at York at the end of last month and appears a little overlooked at 20/1 (General) for the Unibet Stewards' Cup at the Qatar Goodwood Festival.

He's been with David O'Meara less than a year and was hitting the bulls-eye for the first time since switching from Hugo Palmer's, for whom he ran in the 2017 Craven won by Eminent.

He didn't make the grade at that kind of level but did make a bit of a name for himself with three handicaps wins on the all-weather later the same season, and it's no surprise that O'Meara targeted a winter campaign on the artificial surfaces this time around.

He ran several good races - placing behind the likes of Island Of Life, Kachy and Alsvinder - and had crept down the weights before taking full advantage with a striking success on the Knavesmire.

He had some excellent sprinting yardsticks behind that day, Growl, Golden Apollo and O'Meara stable companion Intisaab filling the places, and he won pulling the proverbial cart - click here for the free video replay.

The fast ground at York seemed to really suit him, compared to easy-ground efforts at Ripon and Winsdor earlier in June, where he was far from disgraced in fairness, going down a head and three-quarters-of-a-length respectively. So with a bit of luck the sun shines for Glorious Goodwood, where a race like the Stewards' Cup looks tailor-made for the horse.

A revised mark of 100 ensures he'll make the cut and another big-field handicap scenario looks absolutely perfect for the horse, who has still only had the four runs on turf for his current trainer and could yet be capable of rating a little higher still (peak mark for Palmer was 107).
