Goodwood Tips

Day 1 Goodwood Tips - Goodwood Cup 3:25

The stayers are in the spotlight on day 1 as the Goodwood Cup, run over two miles, is the feature race of the day.

Courage Mon Ami is current favourite for owners Wathnan Racing following his excellent Ascot Gold Cup victory.

There is however some tough opposition to fend off with Coltrane, who was a close second in the Ascot Gold Cup, prominent in the betting.

Aidan O'Brien's Emily Dickinson will appreciate any give in the ground and Marco Botti's Yorkshire Cup winner Giavellotto, who has been kept fresh for this.

Goodwood Cup Betting Odds

• Gregory @ 2-1
• Coltrane @ 11-4
• Emily Dickinson @ 7-1
• Courage Mon Ami @ 7-1
• Giavellotto @ 10-1
• Eldar Eldarov 10-1
• Bertinelli @ 11-1
• Quickthorn @ 16-1
• Broome @ 16-1
• Changingoftheguard @ 16-1
• Saint George @ 20-1
• 25-1 bar

Day 2 Goodwood Tips - Sussex Stakes 3:35 Goodwood

The Sussex Stakes is more affectionately known as ‘the duel on the downs’ thanks to the exciting clashes between some of racing’s greatest on the Sussex downs through the years.

Paddington, unbeaten in his five starts this season, most recently in the Coral-Eclipse when fending off Emily Upjohn, looks an exciting stallion prospect for Coolmore and is odds-on favourite to land this contest for Aidan O'Brien.

Inspiral is a general 4-1 chance to get the better of Paddington and reappeared to finish an admirable second behind Triple Time in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot. Although the Prix Jacques Le Marois in Deauville could be an option for her.

The most significant market mover is Nostrum, an impressive winner of the Listed Sir Henry Cecil Stakes at Newmarket's July Festival. Sir Michael Stoute's Kingman colt was returning from a long break since finishing third behind Chaldean in the Dewhurst last year. His price has shortened into around 5-1 to continue his progression as a three year old. Similar to Inspiral however, Paddington is scaring off some of his rivals and the Prix Jacques Le Marois is also a consideration for this colt.

Modern Games represents Godolphin.

Glorious Goodwood day 2 tip - Paddington proved his stamina for ten furlongs when beating Emily Upjohn in a vintage renewal of the Eclipse Stake at Sandown, but is probably best suited to this eight furlong distance over which he won the Irish 2000 Guineas and St James’s Palace Stakes.

Sussex Stakes Betting Odds

• Paddington @ 8-15
• Inspiral @ 4-1
• Nostrum @ 5-1
• Modern Games @ 7-1
• Master Of The Seas @ 14-1
• Kinross @ 20-1
• 33-1 bar

Day 3 Goodwood Tips - Nassau Stakes 3:35 Goodwood

On paper this looks like a race to savour and racegoers are in for a treat if Blue Rose Cen makes the trip over from France. The dual-Group 1 winner was last seen shrugging off her rivals in the Prix De Diane at Longchamp, which she won by an impressive four lengths.

Nashwa demolished her rivals in the Group 1 Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket and is popular to see off the French raider.

Glorious Goodwood day 3 tip - Nashwa was back to her brilliant best when routing a decent field in the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket in July and looks primed for a repeat victory in this race which she won last year.

Nassau Stakes Betting Odds

• Blue Rose Cen @ evens
• Nashwa @ 5-2
• Al Husn @ 10-1
• Above The Curve @ 10-1
• 20-1 bar

Nassau Stakes previous ten winners

Day 4 Goodwood Tips - King George Qatar Stakes 3:35 Goodwood

Highfield Princess is hot favourite for this contest as she brings solid Group 1 form.

Equality, winner of his last two races, will be popular in the market along with Ed Bethell's Regional, also the winner of his last two starts. Aidan O'Brien has Aesop's Fables, Statuette and The Antarctic among entries.

Glorious Goodwood day 4 tip - Ladies Church is highly regarded by trainer Johnny Murtagh who has compared this filly to Sole Power who he rode to win a King Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot. She needs quick ground to be seen at her best and if the ground comes in her favour she will be difficult to beat.

King George Stakes Betting Odds

• Highfield Princess @ evens
• Equality @ 13-2
• Ladies Church @ 11-1
• Equilateral @ 12-1
• 14-1 bar

King George Qatar Stakes previous ten winners

Day 5 Goodwood Tips - Stewards’ Cup 3:35 Goodwood

One of the trickiest handicaps to analyse and well known for its taxing nature when trying to find the winner.

Orazio, who is among market leaders, had won both starts this season before finishing sixth in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot. The winner of that royal contest was Saint Lawrence who is close behind in the betting at around 10-1 along with the second that day Apollo One.

Commanche Falls has triumphed in this race for the last two years and won a Listed race at the Curragh last time out, he is fancied to go well for astute trainer Michael Dods. Tiber Flow, Desert Cop and Kings Lynn are among others to look out for.

Tajalla is interesting for Roger Varian, the lightly-raced three-year-old was last seen finishing second in the Listed Scurry Stakes at Sandown.

Glorious Goodwood day 5 tip - Juan Les Pins was a big improver last season, running up a sequence of four wins during the summer months. He appears to be still progressing judging by his third place finish behind Saint Lawrence in the Wokingham Handicap at Royal Ascot and another bold showing is anticipated.

Stephen Harris's Saturday Tip - 3:00 GOODWOOD Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes (Group 2) (Fillies & Mares) - FREE WIND 5/2 -John and Thady Gosden’s high class 5-y-o mare let down backers when hammered in the market for the Hardwicke at Royal Ascot behind Pyledriver, but she had excuses there (dropped out in rear and widest of all when rushed up to close), and can resume her progress in this valuable Group 2.

Stewards' Cup Betting Odds

• Orazio @ 6-1
• Apollo One @ 14-1
• Strike Red @ 14-1
• Mitbaahy @ 16-1
• Batal Dubai @ 16-1
• Mums Tipple @ 16-1
• Juan Les Pins @ 16-1
• Tiber Flow @ 16-1
• Albasheer @ 16-1
• 20-1 bar
