Goldrun looks for glory at Goodwood
Irish raider Alexander Goldrun heads 12 fillies and mares that have been declared for the Group One Vodafone Nassau Stakes at Glorious Goodwood on Saturday.
Jim Bolger’s four-year-old again heads to England after finishing runner-up to Soviet Song in the Falmouth Stakes at the July meeting earlier this month.
The daughter of Gold Away had previously landed the Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh and will again lock horns with Red Bloom and John Oxx’s Hazarista, who finished second and fifth on that occasion.
Red Bloom is Michael Stoute’s only representative and will be trying to give the Newmarket handler his fourth consecutive win in the race following the victories of Islington, Russian Rhythm and Favourable Terms.
Ireland will also be represented by 1000 Guineas winner Virginia Waters, while Something Exciting, a game runner-up behind Eswarah in the Vodafone Oaks, is also entered in the 10-furlong contest.
