Goodwood Betting Odds

Goodwood 3:10PM

Handicap | Flat | 4f 219y

Going: Good to Firm

Verdict

There are front-runners drawn low, middle and high. Twilight Calls (second choice) did well to win from where he was at Newmarket and he's one of a few chances for the Richard Spencer yard, together with Rapper's Delight and Run Boy Run. The return of Oisin Murphy heightens interest in Adrestia who was second in this last year, and her latest run at Royal Ascot wasn't as bad as it may appear. The suggestion is SEVEN QUESTIONS who came from the clouds to nail Dyonisos on the line over C&D in May and has been ridden differently in his last two races. With a strong pace guaranteed, he might be able to deliver a telling late charge. Vintage Clarets can also feature.[Alistair Jones]

Progressive front-runner who was denied late on in the Dash at Epsom (5f, good to soft; has won on good to firm) in early June; he'll give backers a run for their money but could again be picked off where it matters.

Classy sprinter back in the day and the new visor has been floating his boat with recent form figures of 121 in 5f handicaps, latterly getting up in the nick of time at Newmarket; only 3lb higher and this hold-up performer should have this run to suit; finished fifth in last year's Stewards' Cup, faring best in his group; firmly in calculations.

Royal Ascot handicap winner last year (5f, good to firm) and later went close in this race when 3lb higher; yet to get competitive this term but could have needed the comeback run, there were blindfold issues next time and she ran well for a long way at Ascot 17 days ago before eased considerably late on; drawn next to the stands' rail and a revival is not out of the question with form figures of 132 under the returning Oisin Murphy; tongue tied last two races.

Made all in last season's Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) and competes off the same mark here after taking Toby Moore's claim into account; won over 5f at Meydan during the winter and gave it a good shot last time at Ascot (5f); finished fourth in last year's Stewards' Cup so handles this track; respected.

Last season went well and so too this current campaign for new trainer with 5f wins on good to soft (handles faster) and Tapeta; may not have reached his ceiling just yet and has been third and first in his two runs here.

Well beaten in the last two editions of the Stewards' Cup here but won from off the pace over C&D in May, leading on the line under a Jamie Spencer masterclass; barely sighted in his two subsequent runs (soft/AW; ridden more prominently) but, back in this scenario with a strong pace guaranteed, he could easily be a factor if reverting to patient tactics.

Novice winner who is threatening to win his first handicap having been denied narrowly this month by Naana's Sparkle and Twilight Calls; a late bump didn't help his cause last time at Newmarket and the visor (on for last three races) is working well; possibilities.

Two no-shows at Goodwood were at this meeting in 2023, including this race; however, provided the track doesn't pose any problems, he could be interesting after strong finishes in the Dash at Epsom and last time at Chester where a slow start was the last thing he needed; he should be coming home to some effect.

Group 1-class sprinter at his best but it's been a struggle this season since an encouraging start at Listed level and he now has his sights lowered for a first crack at a handicap; has a lot of weight and perhaps better at 6f than 5f.

Back from a break and wind surgery when impressive in a big field at York in May 2024 (5f, good to firm; 7lb lower); however, failed to fire at Meydan this year and was again down the field at Newcastle a month ago; cheekpieces replace a hood.

Ex-French; didn't get the best of runs when pipped by Seven Questions here in May and overcame some bother in running to go one better at Doncaster last time (5f, good to firm); 4lb rise is fair and this sort of race should suit his style.

Made the most of a drop in grade to edge home in a Class 4 at York 18 days ago (5f, good to firm) and went up only 3lb for that; however, he's by no means certain to repeat that effort and he lacks course experience.

Front-runner; 3lb lower than for his runaway win at Haydock last September (5f, good) but hasn't got a lot going in his last four races and was tailed off in Epsom's Dash, in which he was second in 2024; others preferred.

All wins over 6f (on soft and good ground) and he's 0-5 at 5f; can lead; 5lb higher than when winning the Ayr Silver Cup (soft) last September but Jack Callan claims 3lb and forget Ascot last month as he banged his head on the stalls; however, at this trip others are preferred.
