Going: Good (Good to Firm in places) SMART STATS:


Right handed, undulating. There are two bends; all races up to a mile and a quarter No Smart Stats available for this race
use the lower bend, and in excess of eleven furlongs use the top bend. Although
there is a five-furlong run-in from the top bend, the turns and the pronounced
downhill gradients make Goodwood essentially a sharp track, favouring handy
types, particularly in the shorter-distance races. The five-furlong course is one of the
fastest in the country, meaning speedy sorts often have an advantage. A notoriously

kept to the rail.

TIMEFORM VIEW:
A maiden for prospective stayers and the well-connected AGE OF SAIL should relish this
sort of test on debut given his pedigree. War Horse was beaten only by an all-the-way
winner here last month and is an obvious threat, while Schmilsson is another likely-
looking newcomer.

Joseph Parr Harry Burns (5lb/2kg)
C&D winner who was suited by a strong pace when winning 10-runner claiming

Snapped a lengthy losigin sequence over this trip at Doncaster in March. Rather

TIMEFORM VIEW:

Andrew Balding Andrea Atzeni
Quirky sort who hasn’t won since 2019. Creditable effort on form when third

competitive race like this.

2 3 HARROVIAN (13) (D) s+t 97

John & Thady Gosden Frankie Dettori
Smart gelding who has proved as good as ever this term, battling well to land

77125/411 5 9-2 | 58.1kg
David Menuisier William Buick
Still progressive at the age of 5, landing a C&D handicap before another career
best to land a similarly competitive event at York a month ago. Well worth a crack
at this level, and he’s one to note.

4 5 TYSON FURY (11) 91


191-4933 4 9-2 | 58.1kg
Richard Spencer Tom Marquand
Useful colt who has performed creditably in handicap company the last twice

5 8 VICTORY CHIME (IRE) (11) (CD) v 98


31200021 6 9-2 | 58.1kg
Ralph Beckett Hector Crouch
Smart sort who has been in top form lately and benefited from a good tactical
ride when scoring at Chester 11 days ago. Well worth another try in this grade,
but likely to face pressure for the lead.
6 2 WEST END CHARMER (IRE) (460) (D, BF) 98
481/13- 5 9-2 | 58.1kg
Mark Johnston Joe Fanning
Smart sort who defied a 12-month absence in good style at Newmarket in June

since, but can clearly go well fresh.

Still unexposed and, having improved to finish fifth in the Sovereign Stakes on

24119435 3 8-11 | 55.8kg
Marcus Tregoning Jason Watson
Landed the Britannia at Royal Ascot and has generally remained in good form.
This represents a drop in grade and this track suits him well, so could be worth
chancing in an open race.

TIMEFORM VIEW:
PEROTTO has been holding his form nicely in a higher grade and tends to go well at this
course, so he gets the marginal vote in a race that could be run to suit his patient style.
The improving Migration is a danger having his first go in listed company, while King
Vega is another one who probably hasn’t hit his limit yet.

twice since but he’s certainly well capable off this mark if in the mood. The hood

Starting to look well handicapped but need to see more before lending support. Chris Gordon Dane O’Neill
Fair form on the Flat for Clive Cox. Won a Fakenham juvenile hurdle for this yard
last November but absent since finishing last in a handicap there in March.

All 3 career wins on Kempton’s AW. Likely in better nick than his recent form

Michael Attwater William Carson TIMEFORM VIEW:
Capitalised on his reduced mark to land 3-runner Windsor handicap last month
but not in the same form when beaten 9 lengths into third over this C&D since. CURTIZ has got on a real roll in recent weeks and might be capable of defying the
handicapper again. Croeso Cymraeg was in top form when last seen in midsummer and
will be a threat if resuming in similar fashion. Russian Virtue and Hundred Isles also make
5 2 CROESO CYMRAEG (91) (C) 99 the shortlist in this competitive handicap.

Course winner (11f) last season and better than ever this term, winning at 1. CURTIZ 2. CROESO CYMRAEG 3. RUSSIAN VIRTUE

Dual winner over 9.5f in Ireland in 2018 but drew a blank in 5 starts over here in
2019. Watching brief has to be the call after such a long time off the track. SMART STATS:

Lee Carter Stevie Donohoe
Fairly low-mileage 5-y-o who has improved to land 3 handicaps this year, the
latest over 1m at Yarmouth in June. Recent efforts suggest the handicapper has
him right for now, though.

60-975104 5 9-5 | 59.4kg
John Flint Callum Shepherd
Back on the scoreboard at Sandown (1m) in July. Another creditable effort there
when 2 lengths fourth of 8 last month. Each-way claims.

9 6 HUNDRED ISLES (IRE) (27) 99


7-2110252 4 9-4 | 59.0kg
Mick Channon Tom Marquand
Latest win at Nottingham in April. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at
Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Should be fine at this longer trip. Not
discounted under Tom Marquand.

10 3 SWEET REWARD (IRE) (31) (D, BF) 97


53116529 4 9-3 | 58.5kg
Jonathan Portman Hector Crouch
Landed back-to-back 1¼m Sandown handicaps earlier this year and career-best
display when runner-up over C&D in July. Not in same form back at Sandown last
month but likely type to bounce back.

use the lower bend, and in excess of eleven furlongs use the top bend. Although
there is a five-furlong run-in from the top bend, the turns and the pronounced
downhill gradients make Goodwood essentially a sharp track, favouring handy SMART STATS:
types, particularly in the shorter-distance races. The five-furlong course is one of the No Smart Stats available for this race
fastest in the country, meaning speedy sorts often have an advantage. A notoriously

kept to the rail.

4-21003 3 9-9 | 61.2kg
Charles Hills Rhys Clutterbuck
Winner at Wolverhampton in April. Has failed to settle in handicaps subsequently,
but latest third at Bath 3 weeks ago was a step in the right direction.

2 5 JUST THAT LORD (15) (D) 100


26348/88-1 8 9-9 | 61.2kg
Simon Hodgson Saffie Osborne
First run since leaving Michael Attwater and a career best when winning
5-runner handicap at Windsor 15 days ago by 2¾ lengths from Rose Hip,
unchallenged. Remains well treated on old form.

3 7 ROSE HIP (15) (C, D, BF) 98


07136532 6 9-7 | 60.3kg
Tony Carroll Mollie Phillips (3lb/1kg)
Course winner who was back on her game at Windsor 15 days ago and remains
on a fair mark (won off it earlier in the season), so big player if they go a solid
pace.

4 4 SAAHEQ (32) (D) b 98


58190474 7 9-1 | 57.6kg
Amanda Perrett Callum Hutchinson (3lb/1kg)
3 wins from 15 runs this year. Latest win at Sandown in June but finding it hard
to make much of an impact at present.

5 1 FOUR ADAAY (10) (CD) 95


43112466 3 8-13 | 56.7kg
Rod Millman Sam Feilden (7lb/3kg)
Has done well this year, winning 3 times over this trip. Has held form since
scoring over C&D in May, just not having the rub of the green lately, so could
feature if this pans out right.

6 8 PASSIONAL (25) (D) t 97


57225312 4 8-13 | 56.7kg
Stuart Williams Lorenzo Atzori (7lb/3kg)
Notched 4 AW wins during the winter and finally off the mark on turf at
Newmarket in July. Creditable second there the following month, so promises
to remain competitive.

7 3 RAASEL (201) (D) h 97


13/286 4 8-12 | 56.2kg
Michael Appleby Adam Farragher
Fairly useful 5f 2-y-o winner for Marcus Tregoning. Disappointing for current
stable but he’s been off 6 months since a poor showing at Newcastle and his
two best efforts have come when fresh.

8 6 GLAMOROUS BREEZE (12) (D, BF) v 95


35221222 3 8-11 | 55.8kg
Christopher Mason Gina Mangan (3lb/1kg)
Off the mark at Chepstow in July and running consistently well, but showed why
she hasn’t won too many when runner-up again to Seneca Chief at Sandown
earlier this month. Sterner headgear on.

8 DECLARED RUNNERS

BETTING FORECAST:
7-2 Just That Lord, 4-1 Rose Hip, 5-1 Glamorous Breeze, 11-2 Passional, 12-1 Four
Adaay, 12-1 Equality, 16-1 Saaheq, 20-1 Raasel

TIMEFORM VIEW:
ROSE HIP was beaten quite convincingly by Just That Lord at Windsor earlier in the
month but is better off at the weights now and has a much more solid profile, so she’s
fancied to turn the tables and emerge on top in a tightly-knit apprentice event. In-form
pair Glamorous Breeze and Passional also warrant consideration.

TIMEFORM 1-2-3:
1. ROSE HIP 2. JUST THAT LORD 3. GLAMOROUS BREEZE
