HOORAY FOR HENRY

O'Brien's miler ready to be a millionaire

- The Scout (Melissa Jones)

HENRY LONGFELLOW (3.35) is fancied to reach the next chapter of his career in Goodwood's Qatar Sussex Stakes.

Named after the late American poet, Aidan O'Brien's miler looks to be reaching his peak after two runs this season.

In today's £1million showpiece, my selection meets 2,000 Guineas hero Notable Speech and three older rivals - after his St James's Palace Stakes conqueror Rosallion was ruled out with a respiratory infection.

Described as a "special horse" by Ballydoyle chief O'Brien, Henry Longfellow rounded off a flawless juvenile campaign in the Curragh's National Stakes.
