German Derby winner Palladium in action at Goodwood
However, the Seven Barrows handler always had designs on returning to the level with Palladium and having swapped Lambourn for Newmarket to join John and Thady Gosden, the Clarehaven team will get their first look at the talented son of Gleneagles on the racecourse in the Listed BetGoodwin Tapster Stakes.
Thady Gosden said: 'He won the German Derby and then he had a stint over the sticks, but it's great to have him back on the Flat as he was a Classic-winning three-year-old in Germany.
'Goodwood over a mile and half is a great place to start him off for the season. We'll see how he runs on Sunday and then we'll be able to make a plan for the season from there.'
Palladium will be ridden by James Doyle, who added: 'I think they're due a bit of rain down at Goodwood so if that is on the easy side you would think would suit and it's a nice spare ride to pick up.
'It's always nice to ride for John and Thady and of course Lady Bamford and it's very kind of them to leg me up.'
Palladium will face a total of five rivals including former Henderson stablemate Galashiels and new Gosden stablemate Military Academy.
Karl Burke's Bolster, William Haggas' soft ground-loving Hamish and David Simcock's Raja Raja are also among the opposition.
There is also Listed action on the card in the Weatherbys / British EBF Agnes Keyser Fillies' Stakes where a field of 12 head to post.

Aberdeen sell Pape Habib Gueye to Turkish side Kasimpasa for ‘significant' fee
Aberdeen have sold Scottish Cup-winning striker Pape Habib Gueye to Turkish Super Lig side Kasimpasa for what the Dons described as 'a significant undisclosed fee'. The 25-year-old Senegal striker moved to Pittodrie in August 2023 from Belgian club KV Kortrijk. After going out on loan to Norwegian outfit Kristiansund Ballklubb in the second half of his first season at Aberdeen, Gueye returned to the Granite City last summer and scored 12 goals last term before coming on in the second half of the cup final triumph over Celtic in May. 'We wish Pape all the very best with his transfer to Turkey, and we thank him for his contributions during his time at Aberdeen, notably his positive impact in the Scottish Cup final,' manager Jimmy Thelin told the Dons website. 'We're pleased with our recruitment so far this summer and the work remains ongoing to bring in further reinforcements and improvements ahead of the window closing. We are still shaping the squad. 'We thank Pape for his efforts and wish him all the best with the next chapter in his career.'

Track where Michael O'Sullivan suffered fall which cost him his life announces closure
Thurles, Ireland's only privately owned racecourse, will stage no more racing after the Molony family declared they were stepping away from the sport The track where tragic jockey Michael O'Sullivan suffered the fall which cost him his life is to close with immediate effect. Thurles racecourse, Ireland's only privately owned track, has staged jump racing in Co Tipperary since 1732 and since the early 1900s has been owned by the Molony family. It's best known race is the Kinloch Brae Chase in January, won by the likes of Native Upmanship, Queen Mother Champion Chase winner Newmill, Cheltenham Gold Cup heroes Don Cossack and Sizing John and the top-class Allaho. It is one of three Grade 2 races run during its 11 meeting season. It was in the news in February this year when Cheltenham Festival-winning jockey Michael O'Sullivan suffered serious injuries in a five horse pile-up at the final fence of a chase at Thurles on February 6 in which his mount Wee Charlie was fatally injured. The 24-year-old was airlifted to hospital in Cork and died ten days later. An IHRB investigation into the incident found 'no evidence of human error, equipment failure, or environmental factors as the primary cause'. 'The incident was attributed to the inherent risks of National Hunt racing, with a series of independent falls triggering an unavoidable chain reaction,' the report said. The track's next scheduled fixture is in October but it will not take place following the Molony family's shock announcement on Friday that it will close immediately, a decision blamed on increasing industry demands and rising costs. A statement from Riona Molony said: 'It has been an honour and a privilege for our family to have run Thurles Racecourse, and I am officially announcing our retirement today. 'We are very proud of the immense contribution our family has made to racing and we are most grateful to our extended racecourse family, our dedicated staff, generous sponsors, loyal patrons and the wider racing community for all your support. 'Horse-racing is part of the fabric of our family, and we have been very fortunate to have made so many great friends within the industry over the years. My family and I look forward to going racing with you again, as spectators. 'Since my beloved husband Pierce passed away in 2015, with the help of our four daughters Patricia, Helen, Ann Marie and Kate and our wonderful staff, we've managed to keep the show on the road and I know he would be very proud of us for that. 'The girls all have their own families, careers and lives to live. Ever increasing industry demands and the cost of doing business has also been a major factor. 'We're going to enjoy this time together and relax now the decision is made and the news is out before we consider our options.'
