13:50 – Coral Chesterfield Cup Handicap
Race Details: 1m 1f | Class 2 | Going: 7.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a proper Goodwood handicap to start the card: big field, compressed weights and no shortage of plausible angles. Diego El Queso arrives with the most solid recent profile after a string of good runs, while Noble Horizon and Al Aali are the sort lurking lower down the weights with the potential to keep improving. Midak has been knocking on the door and looks tailor-made for a strongly-run race, whereas Yabher is harder to weigh up after disappointing last time. Draw and track position will matter around here, but so will patience, because this looks likely to be run at a healthy clip. It is a deep Class 2 rather than an impossible one, and I’d rather side with progressive 4yos than some exposed older rivals.
Top Selections
1. Noble Horizon – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Silvestre De Sousa | Trainer: Oli Rix | Form: 583-71 | Rating: 117 | Topspeed: 106
There was a lot to like about the way Noble Horizon got the job done last time, and he still appeals as the type to do better in these upper-end handicaps. He is a 4yo with relatively light mileage compared to plenty in here, has a workable draw in 8, and his mark of 117 does not look beyond him if that latest success has sharpened him up mentally as much as physically. Silvestre De Sousa is a positive booking for a race where assertive positioning can be crucial, and 11/2 looks a fair price rather than a cramped one. He is the one I’d want onside if building the race around a single winner.
Bet: WIN
2. Midak – 12/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Jamie Spencer | Trainer: Ian Williams | Form: 4-6944 | Rating: 116 | Topspeed: 111
Midak makes plenty of each-way appeal because his recent form reads better than it may look at first glance. He has been running consistently well without quite landing the blow, and that Topspeed figure of 111 says he is operating at the right level for a race like this. Stall 5 should give Jamie Spencer options, and few riders are better in these big-field Goodwood handicaps when a late rattle is required. Ian Williams knows how to place one in this division, and Midak is available at 12/1, which feels generous for a horse who is very likely to be doing his best work in the final furlong.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Noble Horizon is the win play, chiefly because he still has the profile of a progressive handicapper and looks well set for this test. Midak is the each-way punt at double-figure odds, with his consistency and strong finishing style making him attractive for the five-place terms. The obvious dangers are Diego El Queso, who brings solid recent form, and Al Aali, who is unexposed at this level.

14:25 – Coral Vintage Stakes (Group 2)
Race Details: 7f | Class 1 | Going: 7.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a smart little Vintage Stakes rather than an especially deep one, with the market understandably circling around Al Hudaiba and Haffner. Al Hudaiba sets the standard on a mark of 117 and already has the profile of a proper Group colt, while Haffner brings the usual Ballydoyle intrigue after getting off the mark at the second time of asking. Pikachu is interesting because he has already been mixing it in stronger company than most and his rating of 114 says he is not far off the principals despite bigger odds. Dr Rascal and Undiscovered are unbeaten and open to more, so there is no shortage of upside in the line-up. In a six-runner race, tactical pace, track position and who handles this sharp 7f best will matter plenty.
Top Selections
1. Al Hudaiba – 2/1 with Bet365
Jockey: William Buick | Trainer: Charlie Appleby | Form: 1U11 | Rating: 117 | Topspeed: 102
He is the obvious one, but sometimes obvious is the right answer. Al Hudaiba has already posted the standout rating in the field and his profile suggests a colt who has learned quickly and keeps finding when it matters. Buick for Appleby in a Goodwood juvenile Group race is never a combination to dismiss lightly, and this fellow has the figures to back up the reputation. The 2/1 on offer is hardly stealing money, yet it still makes sense given he has both the class edge and the strongest established form. If he gets a smooth passage, he is going to take some pegging back. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Pikachu – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: David Egan | Trainer: Charlie Johnston | Form: 253 | Rating: 114 | Topspeed: 102
Pikachu is the one who makes most appeal at a price. His form figures do not scream obvious Group 2 winner, but the substance underneath them is better than that bare sequence suggests, and a mark of 114 says he has already achieved plenty. Matching Al Hudaiba on Topspeed is no small thing in this field, and Charlie Johnston’s juveniles are often at their best when ridden positively and allowed to use their stride. In a race where a few arrive with potential rather than proof, 15/2 looks fair enough for a colt with battle-hardened experience and a level of form that may be slightly underestimated. Bet type: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Al Hudaiba is the win play because he brings the clearest top-class credentials and the best rating in the line-up. For those looking beyond the favourite, Pikachu makes appeal as the each-way punt in a small but classy field, especially at 15/2. Haffner is the obvious danger if he takes another step forward, while unbeaten pair Dr Rascal and Undiscovered are respected but need to prove they belong at this level.

15:00 – HKJC World Pool Lennox Stakes (Group 2)
Race Details: 7f | Class 1 | Going: 7.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a smart rather than deep Lennox, with the market understandably focusing on Lake Forest and Qirat. The former has the best rating in the field and sets the standard on raw ability, but he does arrive here needing to bounce back from a slightly underwhelming latest run. Qirat, by contrast, comes here off a confidence-boosting win and looks like the one still going the right way at seven furlongs. Marvelman has solid enough claims from stall 1 if reproducing his best, while Witness Stand is not without hope if the race gets tactical. It is not an impossible puzzle, but there is enough depth to make it more than a simple case of siding with the highest-rated horse.
Top Selections
1. Qirat – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Colin Keane | Trainer: Ralph Beckett | Form: 70-471 | Rating: 124 | Topspeed: 106
Qirat makes plenty of appeal in a race where a few of these look a bit exposed at this level. His latest win suggested he is coming to hand at the right time, and a mark of 124 leaves him right in the mix without needing to improve bundles. Beckett’s horses are rarely overfaced in races like this and the booking of Colin Keane catches the eye. He has enough tactical speed for a Goodwood seven and, unlike a couple of his main rivals, arrives with momentum. At 3/1 he is not exactly hidden from the market, but he still looks the percentage call in this field. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Marvelman – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: P J McDonald | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: 310-92 | Rating: 125 | Topspeed: 101
Marvelman looks the value alternative if you want to take on the front pair. He shaped well when second last time, suggesting he is ready to strike again, and his overall profile at seven furlongs is pretty dependable. A rating of 125 says he belongs in this company and stall 1 could be a handy place to be around Goodwood if P J McDonald can get him into a smooth early rhythm. He does not have the flashy profile of Qirat or the headline figure of Lake Forest, but 5/1 feels fair in an eight-runner Group 2 where he should be competitive throughout. He is the sensible each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Qirat is the win play because he arrives in form and still looks to have a bit more to offer at this trip. Marvelman is the each-way option at a workable price in an eight-runner field with three places on offer. Lake Forest is the obvious danger on ratings, but he is short enough now and does not look bombproof.

15:35 – Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup Stakes (Group 1)
Race Details: 2m | Class 1 | Going: 7.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a compact but high-class Goodwood Cup, with the market understandably revolving around the progressive Scandinavia and the proven stayer Trawlerman. The former arrives on a five-race winning streak and still gives the impression there could be more to come at this trip, while Trawlerman brings rock-solid top-level staying form and the best Topspeed figure in the field. Behind the front two, it becomes much murkier. Amiloc, Lazy Griff and Rahiebb all have bits and pieces of form that make them interesting without making them bombproof. In truth, this is not an impossible puzzle, but it does feel like a race where the class edge of the market leaders may prove decisive unless one of the younger improvers finds another chunk of progress.
Top Selections
1. Scandinavia – 1/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Ryan Moore | Trainer: A P O’Brien | Form: 11-111 | Rating: 125 | Topspeed: 102
It is hard to crab a horse arriving here on the back of five straight wins, and Scandinavia looks the one with the most upside in the field. A mark of 125 already puts him right alongside the established benchmark, but unlike some of these, he is still going the right way. Ryan Moore taking over for A P O’Brien is exactly what you want in a race like this, and the draw in 2 should allow him to travel wherever the pace develops. At even money he is hardly a hidden gem, but he makes plenty of appeal as the likeliest winner if seeing out this searching two miles strongly. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Amiloc – 12/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Hector Crouch | Trainer: Ralph Beckett | Form: 124-66 | Rating: 120 | Topspeed: 104
If you want something at a price to hit the frame, Amiloc is the one that makes most each-way sense to me. The recent form figures do not scream confidence, but a 120 rating in this sort of company says he is not far off the required level, and Ralph Beckett is not tilting at windmills in a race like this. He has enough pace in his profile to hold a position from stall 1 and enough stamina to be dangerous if the principals turn this into a proper test. At 12/1, he looks a more interesting each-way punt than some of the other double-figure options, especially in an eight-runner field with three places on offer. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Scandinavia is the straight win play and the obvious one to build around, as he brings the best recent profile and still looks progressive at this trip. For an each-way angle, Amiloc appeals at double-figure odds as one who could easily outrun his price. The main danger is clearly Trawlerman, whose proven staying class makes him very hard to dismiss.

16:10 – Coral Rewards Shaker Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 2 | Going: 7.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is exactly the sort of Goodwood sprint that can make fools of everyone: 24 runners, a furious early pace, and very little margin for error over a sharp 5f. You can make cases for plenty, from the progressive Lexington Blitz to the rejuvenated veteran Twilight Calls, while solid handicappers like Tatterstall, Seven Questions and Glamorous Breeze all have form that gives them a squeak. Draw and track position will matter, but so will the ability to travel in the crush and finish off strongly late on. This looks a deep Class 2 rather than a weak heritage-style sprint, and although there are dangers everywhere, a couple stand out as being better treated than the market may be saying.
Top Selections
1. Lexington Blitz – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Edward Greatrex | Trainer: Robert Cowell | Form: 19-313 | Rating: 114 | Topspeed: 89
He looks the percentage call in a race where plenty come with a snag. Robert Cowell’s 4yo has been thriving this season, winning twice in his last four starts and shaping well again when third last time. That sequence suggests he is holding his form really well, and while an official mark of 114 asks a serious question, he is a sprinter going the right way rather than one hanging on. Stall 5 should give Edward Greatrex options if the pace develops across the track, and at 5/1 he is not exactly missed, but he still makes plenty of appeal in a race lacking an obvious blot. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Tatterstall – 12/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Connor Beasley | Trainer: Michael Dods | Form: 00-325 | Rating: 113 | Topspeed: 100
Tatterstall is the one I’d want onside each-way because he has the profile of a horse who can cope with a big-field burn-up and pick up the pieces late. His recent figures do not scream certainty, but they do show consistency in decent company, and a mark of 113 looks workable judged on the level he has been running to. Connor Beasley is a positive booking for this sort of contest and Michael Dods knows how to place a sprinter at a major meeting. At 12/1, with six places on offer, he makes obvious each-way sense and looks the value against shorter-priced rivals with flashier but less reliable profiles. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Lexington Blitz is the win play in a brutal sprint because he arrives in form and still looks progressive enough to defy a lofty mark. Tatterstall is the each-way punt at double-figure odds, especially with six places softening the risk. The obvious dangers are Twilight Calls, who is thriving again, and Seven Questions, who could easily outrun his price in a race run to suit.

16:45 – British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes (Colts & Geldings) (IRE Incentive Race)
Race Details: 6f | Class 2 | Going: 7.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a warm enough Goodwood maiden for the grade, but it is not short of moving parts. Launch Sequence sets the standard in the market after a promising debut third and he has the profile of a colt who should come on plenty, while Final Objective brings the standout figures on paper after finishing runner-up and seventh in what may turn out stronger races than this. Savage Mariner, Agrippa and Dorigo have all shown enough to make this competitive, and Severn Councils is the type to leave a modest debut behind. In a 16-runner juvenile maiden round here, track position and professionalism matter almost as much as raw ability, so this is a race where proven experience could easily trump the unknown quantities.
Top Selections
1. Final Objective – 4/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Callum Rodriguez | Trainer: Hamad Al Jehani | Form: 27 | Rating: 109 | Topspeed: 97
He is the one I keep coming back to. That rating of 109 and Topspeed mark of 97 are the best in the field and, for all the bare form figures do not scream certainty, they tell you he has already mixed it at a useful level. A low draw in stall 3 could be a help around here if he breaks on terms, and there is enough substance to his two runs to think this maiden is well within range. Launch Sequence is the sexy one, but Final Objective has the harder form in the book and 4/1 looks fair rather than flashy. Bet type: solid win play.
Bet: WIN
2. Agrippa – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Pat Dobbs | Trainer: Richard Hannon | Form: 52 | Rating: 90 | Topspeed: 87
Agrippa appeals as the each-way angle in a race where plenty will latch onto the obvious pair at the top of the market. He stepped forward from his debut when runner-up last time and that experience counts for plenty in a bustling 16-runner Goodwood maiden. Richard Hannon’s juveniles are usually streetwise by this stage of the summer and Pat Dobbs is no bad man to have aboard in races like this. He does not have Final Objective’s headline figures, but a mark of 90 with an 87 Topspeed says he is no back number, and 7/1 is workable for an each-way punt with three places on offer.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Final Objective is the win bet on the strength of the best form and the strongest numbers in the field. Agrippa makes most appeal each-way because he is improving, has race experience and should give himself a chance. Launch Sequence is the obvious danger if taking the expected step forward from debut, while Savage Mariner is another with enough substance to make the frame.

17:20 – Bolney English Wine Fillies’ Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 3 | Going: 7.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a proper Goodwood handicap rather than a straightforward numbers job, with a big field of fillies and several progressive 3yos taking on some battle-hardened older mares. Annastarzy arrives on a hat-trick and is clearly thriving, while Crazee Icon has also been mopping up handicaps and still looks on the upgrade. Rumba Numba and Proposal bring solid profiles near the head of the market, and Nanino Niyati is another with a recent win to her name. The draw will matter around here, but so will tactical sharpness because there is plenty of pace and not much room for error. It looks a deep enough Class 3 and definitely one of the trickier betting races on the card, but there are still a couple that make more appeal than most.
Top Selections
1. Crazee Icon – 6/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Ray Dawson | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: -52511 | Rating: 103 | Topspeed: 95
Crazee Icon appeals as the one still ahead of the assessor despite climbing the ladder quickly. She has won her last two, the latest pair suggesting she is learning fast and finding plenty when it matters. A topspeed figure of 95 stands out very well in this field and, for a 3yo carrying just 117, that is a very attractive mix at this level. Balding’s runners in these fillies’ handicaps are rarely overfaced, and Goodwood’s turning mile should suit a filly who looks straightforward and progressive. At 6/1 she is not exactly hidden, but she still looks fairly priced given the profile. Bet: WIN
2. Star Mirage – 12/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Jamie Spencer | Trainer: Hamad Al Jehani | Form: 232- | Rating: 100 | Topspeed:
Star Mirage is the each-way angle in a race where plenty have something to prove. She has only been seen three times, but that 232 profile says she has ability, and an opening mark of 100 could easily underestimate her if she has strengthened from two to three. Stall 1 is no bad place to start at this track if Spencer can get her switched off early and delivered late, which is very much his game. There is obvious risk because she returns from a break into a competitive handicap, but that is already reflected in a 12/1 quote. In a race full of exposed types and obvious improvers, she is the one with a bit of untapped intrigue. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Crazee Icon is the main play here, a straight win bet on the basis that her recent progress has not finished yet. For an each-way punt, Star Mirage makes more appeal than some shorter-priced rivals because she could be better than her mark and has the right rider for this sort of race. Annastarzy is the obvious danger, while Proposal and Rumba Numba also command respect.

17:55 – World Pool Bet With The tote EBF Fillies’ Handicap
Race Details: 6f | Class 3 | Going: 7.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a proper cavalry charge to close the card and, with 21 fillies hurtling over Goodwood’s sharp 6f, luck in running will matter almost as much as ability. The 3yos look to hold a definite edge on the figures and the market reflects that, with Machadadorp, Zen Diva, Bintaryana and Rogue Attraction all arriving with progressive profiles. Secret History also has obvious appeal after another win, while Gold Digger is respected despite a slightly patchier recent effort. There are plenty of older mares with bits of handicap form, notably Shallow and Stormy Impact, but this does look like a race in which the improving younger legs could dominate. Tricky? Absolutely. But it’s not impossible to narrow down.
Top Selections
1. Machadadorp – 9/2 with Betfair
Jockey: Oisin Murphy | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: 6112 | Rating: 101 | Topspeed: 82
Machadadorp makes plenty of appeal as a filly still going the right way. Her profile is straightforward and attractive: two wins on the bounce before a perfectly solid second last time, and she doesn’t look exposed yet after only four runs. Balding’s fillies are usually placed ambitiously when they’re improving, and the booking of Oisin Murphy only adds to the confidence. From stall 9 she should have options rather than needing everything to fall perfectly, which is no bad thing in a race like this. At 9/2 with Betfair, she looks the percentage call in a deep but winnable handicap. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Secret History – 10/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Ashley Lewis | Trainer: Ed Walker | Form: 3-1141 | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 82
Secret History is the one who stands out as an each-way play because she is already proving admirably reliable in handicaps and still has momentum. Three wins from her last four starts tells its own story, and that latest success suggested she is still thriving rather than about to hit her ceiling. A mark of 104 asks another question, but in these big-field fillies’ handicaps I’d rather side with one who keeps answering them. Drawn in 3, she could easily get the run of the race if that side is favoured, and 10/1 with Betfair makes her very fair each-way material with five places on offer. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Machadadorp is the win bet on the basis of her progressive profile, solid recent second and the Murphy-Balding combination in a race where improvement may be decisive. Secret History is the each-way option at double-figure odds, with her recent strike-rate giving her a strong chance of hitting the frame. Main dangers are Zen Diva, Bintaryana and the well-treated Rogue Attraction.
