Goodwood Eyecatcher Mdawi can go one better on Friday

Charlie Johnston’s Mdawi was perhaps an unlucky loser at Goodwood on Wednesday, but it might not be long until he gains compensation.

Short of room when wanting to make his challenge in the opening mile-and-a-half handicap, he eventually got rolling but the bird had already flown and he had to settle for second, one and three-quarter lengths adrift of winner Omni Man.

A son of the top-class mare Peeping Fawn, he gets a second crack on the Sussex Downs over a furlong less on Friday and it would be no surprise to see him on the premises once again.
