UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

KORCHO (second) only found Walkinthesand (first) too good at Newmarket last month but is 2lb better off at the weights this time and could benefit from an aggressive ride in stall one. Hughie Morrison's charge handles any ground and makes slightly greater appeal than the unexposed Forest Of Dean, who hasn't been seen since finishing fourth in the London Gold Cup 75 days ago. Dalaalaat is progressive and could prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Korcho 2nd Forest Of Dean 3rd Dalaalaat

THREAT arrives on the back of a fine effort when second in the Coventry at Royal Ascot with Guildsman (third), Golden Horde (fifth) and Maxi Boy (seventh) in behind. It could be argued that he was an unlucky loser, as he won his race on the stands' side where the pace collapsed quicker, and he bids to continue the fine record of his yard in this event. Guildsman and Maxi Boy appear the main dangers to the selection.
Prediction : 1st Threat 2nd Guildsman 3rd Maxi Boy

Constantinople performed with credit under a big weight in a handicap at Royal Ascot and could give a good account, despite being penalised for his earlier Curragh Group 3 victory. Spanish Mission accounted for Nayef Road (second) when landing the Bahrain Trophy last time and is another running under a penalty to consider, though perhaps it might be worth siding with Godolphin's grade dropper, JALMOUD, who is entitled to improve for the fitting of a first-time hood. The improving Dal Horrisgle also enters calculations.
Prediction : 1st Jalmoud 2nd Constantinople 3rd Spanish Mission

Dual Guineas winner Hermosa just got done for a turn of pace in the latter stages of the Coronation Stakes and stretching out a couple of furlongs should suit, while, conversely, impressive Pretty Polly Stakes winner Maqsad will appreciate cutting back in distance after not appearing to get home in the Investec Oaks. She eventually finished eighth at Epsom, with MEHDAAYIH an unlucky seventh, and it is the latter who gets the vote. Back to business with a win in France last time, she remains a filly on the improve and can provide John Gosden and Frankie Dettori with yet another big-race winner.
Prediction : 1st Mehdaayih 2nd Hermosa 3rd Maqsad

FULL VERSE carries top weight on his nursery debut but is improving for each visit to the racecourse and was game in holding on at Doncaster in June. The form of his Ascot third behind subsequent Norfolk Stakes runner-up Ventura Rebel reads well and suggests a mark of 90 is a workable one. Fred won in determined fashion at Haydock recently and is another nursery debutant to note, but Picture Frame won going away at Newbury and she is feared most.
Prediction : 1st Full Verse 2nd Picture Frame 3rd Fred

CRAYLANDS was only narrowly denied on her debut at Newmarket last month and that form was boosted when the winner was a close second in a Listed race at Sandown last week. Based on that performance the daughter of Golden Horn has to be given the utmost respect. Tulip Fields and Vividly are others with valid form claims, while Salsa and Ruby Power are the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Craylands 2nd Tulip Fields 3rd Salsa

Celsius is thriving for Tom Clover and a 5lb rise for scoring over this distance at Doncaster three weeks ago is unlikely to prevent him from mounting another bold bid. Narrow preference, however, is for AMPLIFY, who arrives on a hat-trick and should give a good account on the front end after recently scoring off 3lb lower at Windsor. French raider Jungle Speed is worth a market check, while Doncaster second Lufricia could also take a hand.
Prediction : 1st Amplify 2nd Celsius 3rd Lufricia
