Denied a chance to show his true merit as the heavy rain changed the picture of Saturday's G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth S. at Ascot, Fitri Hay's The Corsican (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) takes to Goodwood on Friday to tackle the G3 Glorious S. Successful at this venue in the Listed Festival S. over 10 furlongs May 23, the 4-year-old moved up in the world when an eye-catching fourth in the G1 Prince of Wales's S. at that trip at Royal Ascot last time June 17, and has more suitable ground conditions than last weekend on his return to a mile and a half. Last year's GI Canadian International hero Hillstar (GB) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) bids to get back on track for Sir Evelyn de Rothschild following a latest fifth behind the G2 Goodwood Cup winner Big Orange (GB) (Duke of Marmalade {Ire}) in Newmarket's G2 Princess of Wales's S. at this trip July 9, while one who is moving the other way is Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum's Connecticut (GB) (New Approach {Ire}). Successful by 16 lengths on his seasonal bow in the Listed Pontefract Castle S. at this distance June 21, the Luca Cumani-trained 4-year-old is in deeper here but is a fascinating contender.
