The Roger Charlton-trained Genki will bid for a famous second Stewards Cup victory (Genki 7/1jf Outright) when he lines up for the traditional six-furlong cavalry charge at Glorious Goodwood on Saturday afternoon.

A smart handicap sprinter, the six-year-old gelding stayed on strongly inside the final furlong 12 months ago when getting the better of another big-race specialis,t Evens And Odds, in a memorable finish.

Set to run off a 10lbs higher mark on Saturday, Genki showed last time out at Haydock that he retains all his ability when cosily accounting for a decent field.

He seems set to make a very bold bid for another win in one of the most coveted handicap events of the season.

Jim Goldie’s Hawkeyethenoo (7/1jf) and the William Knight-trained Palace Moon (8/1) are other leading contenders in a race that is always a favourite with punters.
