UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

In an open event the marginal preference is for QUEEN OLLY, who confirmed the promise that she displayed at Royal Ascot when chasing home two talented rivals in the Duchess Of Cambridge last time. The step up in trip is a slight concern for the daughter of No Nay Never, but she has the ability to be successful if seeing out the distance. Mottisfont and Fairy Cross are others with strong form claims, while Bright Diamond has to be of some interest following her impressive debut victory.
Prediction : 1st Queen Olly 2nd Mottisfont 3rd Fairy Cross

A number of these look to hold claims, but LYNDON B is chanced off bottom-weight. He was a stylish winner over this C&D last month, with a couple of subsequent scorers behind, and a 5lb rise might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Orbaan found trouble at a crucial stage when looking to complete a hat-trick at York last time and he warrants respect off an unchanged mark, while Tacarib Bay and I'm A Gambler are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Lyndon B 2nd Orbaan 3rd Tacarib Bay

HOO YA MAL filled the runner-up spot in the Derby when ridden patiently and he wasn't disgraced when third for his new connections here in the Gordon Stakes last month. This appears to be a fine opportunity for George Boughey's colt to get his head back in front before a potential bid at the St Leger next month. Perfect Alibi looks most likely to chase home the selection after impressing in a Newbury handicap, while Animato can get the better of Pink Fire Lilly in the battle for third.
Prediction : 1st Hoo Ya Mal 2nd Perfect Alibi 3rd Animato

In what promises to be a competitive Celebration Mile, marginal preference is for MUTASAABEQ. The son of Invincible Spirit was just denied victory by Chindit in the Summer Mile at Ascot last month, but he is entitled to improve with that run in mind and could make his presence felt. Jadoomi was an impressive winner on his latest outing in France and can be feared, while Escobar put in a bold display in the Clipper Logistics Handicap at York recently and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Mutasaabeq 2nd Jadoomi 3rd Escobar

Keep Bidding is likely to be a warm order in this novice event, but she could be vulnerable once again having gone down at very short odds at Kempton most recently. That could leave the door open for possible improver LAVENDER BEAUTY, who shaped nicely on debut at Salisbury and comes from a stable that knows the time of day with juveniles. Lunarscape cannot be ruled out either, while Urban Jungle could be the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Lavender Beauty 2nd Keep Bidding 3rd Lunarscape

PRECISELY arrives having won her last couple of starts at Newbury and Ffos Las and the daughter of Al Kazeem warrants plenty of respect, despite a 4lb rise for the most recent of those victories. City Streak has been running with credit throughout the season and produced his best effort to date when second at Chester last time. He is likely to be in the mix, while others for the shortlist are Maysong, who may benefit from going back up in trip, and Legendary Day.
Prediction : 1st Precisely 2nd City Streak 3rd Maysong

Secret Shadow drops in class following a disappointing run over 1m4f at Haydock on her most recent outing, but AGGAGIO boasts an impressive three from three at this track and a 4lb raised mark from his latest win may not be enough to stop this course specialist. Ravens Ark has been running in some competitive handicaps recently and is respected down in grade.
Prediction : 1st Aggagio 2nd Secret Shadow 3rd Ravens Ark
