UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

CARDANO has continued to improve through the handicap ranks and picked up a 6lb penalty for his Ripon victory last Wednesday. Ian Williams' gelding is proven on the ground and could have further scope for progression stepping up in distance. Edmond Dantes finished second on his handicap debut at Haydock last month and has more to offer, while Crimean Queen and Queen's Soldier complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Cardano 2nd Edmond Dantes 3rd Crimean Queen

Diva Kareem shaped well when third on her racecourse bow at Kempton and is likely to have benefited plenty from the experience gained on that occasion. Decora's fourth at Lingfield 15 days put her in contention, but SOVEREIGN BEAUTY makes the most appeal on paper. She is a half-sister to recent Listed winner Maid In India and she comes from a leading stable who are more than capable of readying one on debut.
Prediction : 1st Sovereign Beauty 2nd Diva Kareem 3rd Decora

SHIP OF THE FEN struck over this trip at Salisbury on his first start for Ian Williams last month and is expected to defy a 5lb rise for that reappearance success and find the improvement needed to notch a double. The improving Mugatoo, a last-time-out winner at Doncaster off 9lb lower, is feared most, as the exposed Rydan is 6lb higher than when scoring over track and trip last month.
Prediction : 1st Ship Of The Fen 2nd Mugatoo 3rd Rydan

KATIESHEIDINLISA took a backwards step on her hat-trick bid at Chester last month, but any horse can be forgiven a poor showing at that tight track and perhaps she can pick up where she left off when scoring at Doncaster.The three-year-old handles some cut in the ground and could prove too strong for Kvetuschka, who was deemed good enough to run in the Oaks Trial at Lingfield, and Chartered, who should enjoy this extra yardage.
Prediction : 1st Katiesheidinlisa 2nd Kvetuschka 3rd Chartered

Gleeful certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn and shaped as though dropping in trip would suit when third over 7f at Chelmsford last time. She also broke slowly that day and has a definite chance if putting it all together, but preference is for SARASOTA BAY, who had a subsequent winner some seven lengths behind when touched off at Carlisle and any further rainfall, which is forecast, will only boost her chances. All Back To Mine also warrants respect following her 5f course success.
Prediction : 1st Sarasota Bay 2nd Gleeful 3rd All Back To Mine

SELINO confirmed the promise that he displayed on debut by chasing home a useful rival at Thirsk last month. This trip is likely to be the minimum that this stoutly-bred gelding will want in time but he can take this race before making his mark in handicap company. Hereby caught the eye on her debut, when showing signs of greenness and meeting trouble in running, and it would be no surprise to see her take a step forward. Others to note are Dramatic Device and Johnny Kidd.
Prediction : 1st Selino 2nd Hereby 3rd Dramatic Device
