Five meetings take place on Wednesday, with Listowel’s Harvest Festival reaching its feature day. The Kerry National takes place there, though Andrew Mount’s analysis for the day sticks to home shores.
He focuses on Goodwood for today’s racing preview, with the spotlight on two horses in particular.
2.40 Goodwood – Tribal Chief
Regular viewers of GG’s Weekend Watch YouTube show will be aware of my Tribal Chief small-field theory. David Menuisier’s five-year-old often find trouble in big fields, recording form figures in fields of 12 or more runners of 8586073360 (0-10), as compared to 16311122916 (5-11) in anything small for a profit of £19.50 to a £1 level stake at SP (+£23.16 at Betfair SP after 2% commission, expected wins = 2.02, A/E = 2.48). Those wins include a course and distance success off a 2lb higher mark and, while his tendency to start slowly is a concern, there should be sufficient pace in this 1m Class 2 handicap to tow him into the race and he’s worth a bet.
3.15 Goodwood – Naqeeb
Naqeeb has a terrible record at York – form figures of 60688 (0-5) – but his record elsewhere, below Group 3 level, stands at 322113020532152 (3-15) for a profit of £23.64 to a £1 level stake at SP. Those figures include three runs at Goodwood, which produced form figures of 212 (1-3), with the first runner-up effort at 28-1 in an 18-runner handicap and the other by a short head when 14-1 for a Listed race. Julie Camacho’s six-year-old drops back down to Listed level after his fifth place in the Group 2 Celebration Mile here last time and looks set to run well if avoiding an early pace war with Boiling Point.
