Francis Graffard's raider returned an SP of 25/1 when landing the 2024 King George, beating Rebel's Romance and that year's Arc winner, Bluestocking with plenty left in the tank. Graffard's star added to his Group One collection out in Germany last season, and went on to run in big races out in Japan, the USA and the Middle East.
Like in 2024, Goliath returns to the King George on the back of a placed effort in the Hardwicke Stakes. Graffard's star had Giavellotto and Kalpana in his crosshairs that day, but Christophe Soumillon lost his irons at a crucial stage, halting the momentum that Goliath had built up for his customary late charge.
Christophe Soumillon takes the ride on Goliath again on Saturday. Francis Graffard's gelding will be number two on your racecard, and he wears the blue and black silks of owners Resolute Bloodstock and Philip Baron Von Ullmann.
