Following a 3-month break, MILITARY ACADEMY was only narrowly denied by Hamish when the pair met at Goodwood in June and he is taken to reverse the form now reopposing on 3 lb better terms. The 4-y-o has since found it difficult in the Goodwood Cup but can open his account for the season back down in grade/distance, with Mount Atlas the pick of the remainder.
