The training setup is promising. Fergal O'Brien's yard at Withington in Gloucestershire has sent out 90 winners already this season, which suggests an operation firing on all cylinders. O'Brien knows how to get horses ready to win, and how to place them in the right races. That kind of form in the yard is encouraging for any newcomer. How Goliath Power will fare against experienced rivals remains to be seen — debut races are always unpredictable, and a five-year-old without a run carries genuine question marks. But it will be worth watching to see whether this late starter has been worth the wait.
