Eyecatcher

Dragonflame (4.25 Goodwood)

This Brian Meehan-trained colt cost a few quid and caught the eye on his debut last July. He hasn't built on that in two subsequent starts, but he's bred to appreciate this longer trip and switching to handicaps could unlock the potential in his smart pedigree.
