Orbaan (20/1) settled the Coral Golden Mile with a devastating turn of foot, leading home a one-two for North Yorkshire trainer David O’Meara in the prestigious mile handicap on the fourth day of five at Glorious Goodwood. .

A regular in these events, Orbaan had not won since July 2020 but could hardly have broken his losing run in more impressive fashion. Given a patient ride around the inside, the seven-year-old shot clear in the blink of an eye, scoring by an emphatic three and a quarter lengths from stable-mate Blue For You (15/2). Revich (66/1) was third, with front runner Ouzo (20/1) holding on for fourth.

It proved an excellent outcome for winning jockey Jason Watson, who was initially set to partner non-runner Shelir.

O’Meara, who had five runners in the race, said: “Everybody knows this race is so draw dependent. We had three drawn wide and three drawn well. One of them we took out to save him for next week – he was a little bit off-colour this morning and drawn wide, a combination of a few things. But Orbaan – it’s been a long time since he last won. The last time he won he won like a Group horse in a handicap, but he hasn’t won since. He had a lovely run round and stayed on well.
