UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

This is a wide-open contest but marginal preference is for TOMORROW'S DREAM, who bumped into a useful rival when finishing second at Newbury. The daughter of Oasis Dream did not get a clear run on that occasion and she could provide her supporters with some valuable compensation. Wasaayef has some good form to her name from novice company and even an opening mark of 93 may underestimate her ability. Angel Power is another unexposed type who merits respect, while Declared Interest and Vividly complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Tomorrows Dream 2nd Wasaayef 3rd Angel Power

CAPE CAVALLI stepped up on his promising Newcastle comeback when scoring readily at York and with Cieren Fallon's valuable claim cancelling out part of his 8lb rise, he might be able to complete the double. Derevo is entitled to strip fitter for his Doncaster reappearance last month and makes plenty of appeal lining up off the same mark of 96. Alternative Fact and Red October are other in-form players to consider in a competitive handicap.
Prediction : 1st Cape Cavalli 2nd Derevo 3rd Alternative Fact

Battleground is likely to be very popular in the market following his win in the Chesham but that does not appear to be the strongest of form. With that in mind, a chance can be taken on DEVIOUS COMPANY, who only found one too good in the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket. That followed two novice/maiden victories and Tom Dascombe's colt remains open to improvement. Painless Potter's Coventry form gives him an each-way chance with the step up to 7f likely to suit, while Youth Spirit also merits respect.
Prediction : 1st Devious Company 2nd Battleground 3rd Painless Potter

Space Blues got the better of D'bai at Longchamp last month and that form has been bolstered by the latter's subsequent win at Haydock. Glorious Journey adds another string to Charlie Appleby's bow and it will take a good one to beat his trio, but perhaps DUKE OF HAZZARD is just that. The son of Lope De Vega is three from three here and only lost second close home in the Summer Mile last time. Back down in trip, he could strike. Marie's Diamond is likely to give a bold sight from the front, while fellow northern raider Safe Voyage must be considered after winning easily in Listed company at Epsom.
Prediction : 1st Duke Of Hazzard 2nd Space Blues 3rd Dbai

The remarkable STRADIVARIUS has won the last three runnings of this contest and he can strike again. The fact that Queen's Vase/Irish Derby hero Santiago receives 15lb makes things interesting, but John Gosden's champion stayer looked as well as ever when landing his third Ascot Gold Cup by 10 lengths and it would be a big shock were he to get turned over. Gold Cup runner-up Nayef Road is likely to set the fractions and should give another good account of himself.
Prediction : 1st Stradivarius 2nd Santiago 3rd Nayef Road

Having returned with a Haydock defeat of Acclaim The Nation, CELSIUS then got no luck at all at the same venue before bouncing back to form to fill the runner-up berth at Newmarket. He was successful at this meeting 12 months ago and can confirm his superiority over Acclaim The Nation, who has held his form since and is 4lb better off. Final Venture was a sound fifth in a warm Ascot handicap, while Recon Mission is worth another try back at the minimum.
Prediction : 1st Celsius 2nd Acclaim The Nation 3rd Final Venture

There is a host of interesting newcomers in this, not least John Gosden's Tawleed and the 130,000-euro purchase Skibo Castle. Some of those who have already tasted racecourse action have shown plenty of promise, though, including ALKUMAIT. Marcus Tregoning's colt went into plenty of notebooks when looking all at sea at Newbury before coming home nicely for fourth, and there should be a lot more to come from him. Majd Al Arab got within a neck of success at Newmarket and is likely to make this a real test.
Prediction : 1st Alkumait 2nd Majd Al Arab 3rd Tawleed

Asiaaf built on her 1m2f course win when touched off over the same trip at Sandown and she has every chance if getting home. Like her, Au Clair De Lune has improved with every run to date and merits close consideration, while the hat-trick seeking Dancing Approach also warrants shortlist inclusion. However, a chance is taken on Mark Johnston's TULIP FIELDS, who has won and placed in two previous visits here and was a solid third in Listed company at Hamilton latest.
Prediction : 1st Tulip Fields 2nd Asiaaf 3rd Au Clair De Lune
