UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

Double Legend has held his form well on the all-weather in recent months and makes each-way appeal along with Love To Breeze. Rydan has placed over course and distance and should go well, while Sassie won well when last sighted over 2m at Kempton in November last year. CRISTAL SPIRIT gets the nod, though, as he's an unexposed quantity and shaped as though the step up in trip would suit when finishing second at Doncaster over 1m4f in March.
Prediction : 1st Cristal Spirit 2nd Rydan 3rd Double Legend

KLASSIQUE won three on the bounce in handicaps last summer, before going down by less than a length in a Saint-Cloud Group 3 to finish her three-year-old season, and William Haggas' Galileo filly could take all the beating if returning in the same form. The lightly-raced Enbihaar could be suited by the drop back in trip encountered here, while Crystal Moonlight is noted for a yard who enjoy plenty of success with horses over middle distances.
Prediction : 1st Klassique 2nd Enbihaar 3rd Crystal Moonlight

QAROUN returned to winning ways on his final start last year at Kempton and the four-year-old confirmed his well-being with a narrow defeat on his return at Chelmsford last month. The son of Dark Angel won over this course and distance a year ago and he could take plenty of beating this afternoon. Three Saints Bay has to be respected following his easy victory at Musselburgh two weeks ago, while Love Dreams and Whitefountainfairy are others with sound form claims.
Prediction : 1st Qaroun 2nd Three Saints Bay 3rd Love Dreams

THE DALEY EXPRESS boasts winning course form over 6f and warmed up for his assignment with a cosy distance victory at Bath last month. Ron Harris' five-year-old is taken to defy a 3lb rise to notch a double. Open Wide and Kick On Kick On are open to improvement on their second runs following wind surgery, while any money for Group 3 winner Just Glamorous, who debuts for a new stable and is now rated 83, would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st The Daley Express 2nd Kick On Kick On 3rd Open Wide

ANNA NERIUM has won twice at Group 3 level, including here over a furlong shorter last August on soft ground, and the forecast rain looks more in her favour than several of her rivals. Despite the fact she is yet to win over further than 7f, she stayed on strongly when second at Epsom last June over an extended mile and can prove too strong for Awesometank, who enjoyed a consistent three-year-old campaign, and Akvavera.
Prediction : 1st Anna Nerium 2nd Awesometank 3rd Akvavera

QUTOB bumped into a couple of useful rivals when finishing third in a very competitive maiden on his seasonal return at Newmarket last month. The son of Acclamation has made the frame in all previous starts and he tops the shortlist for this contest. The main threat to the selection is likely to be Dominus, who has already hit the crossbar twice this year, although Deference is another with valid from claims.
Prediction : 1st Qutob 2nd Dominus 3rd Deference

Little Rock continued his fine form from the all-weather when finishing third at Windsor last month and is respected off the same mark, while Extreme Force boasts some decent form and could improve for the step up in trip following wind surgery. However, preference is for LONDON EYE, who looked useful on his reappearance at Windsor and could have more to offer now handicapping. Slade King has crucial course experience, with recent Nottingham winner Ignatius also respected.
Prediction : 1st London Eye 2nd Little Rock 3rd Slade King

HTILOMINLO travelled like the winner for a long way at Salisbury last Sunday and was just denied by a determined Mayfair Spirit, who had won before that at Nottingham. The front two pulled clear of the third that day and the son of Zoffany is well worth another chance off the same mark. This time he can get his head in front, but keep an eye on the likes of Takumi and Young Merlin making their seasonal/handicap debuts.
Prediction : 1st Htilominlo 2nd Takumi 3rd Young Merlin
