UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

GALACTIC JACK ran with a considerable amount of promise when finishing third here over a mile on his first start last month and the step up in trip is likely to help the son of Galileo. Midnight Lion is expected to benefit from the extra couple of furlongs after his fourth at Newmarket to a potentially above-average performer of Godolphin's, while others for the shortlist include Mildyjama, who finished fourth on debut at Lingfield, and Rule Of Thumb.
Prediction : 1st Galactic Jack 2nd Midnight Lion 3rd Mildyjama

Plenty with chances, but RED MIRAGE has been knocking on the door of late off this mark and with this slightly longer trip in his favour, he looks the one to be on with William Buick on board for the first time. Alazwar is a lightly-raced contender who can't be dismissed with his yard in such good form, but the biggest danger might be Percy's Lad, if building on his win at Chester last month.
Prediction : 1st Red Mirage 2nd Percys Lad 3rd Alazwar

It may pay to focus on two at the head of the handicap. C&D winner TREACHEROUS was narrowly denied at Doncaster two weeks ago and off just 2lb higher in today's contest, he looks set to make a bold bid. The three-year-old Antiphon could give the selection most to think about after a solid effort here 15 days ago with his mark remaining unchanged. Coco Bear is a similar sort and he rates next best, ahead of Alcazan.
Prediction : 1st Treacherous 2nd Antiphon 3rd Coco Bear

Cadillac and Royal Fleet set the form standard but have slight ground and fitness queries to answer respectively, so it may pay to take them on with PETER THE GREAT. John Gosden's gelding didn't give his true running when forcing too strong a pace in a tough Haydock Group 3 event last time, but he'd looked Listed class when winning successive handicaps at Chelmsford and Newmarket previously with a fair bit up his sleeve.
Prediction : 1st Peter The Great 2nd Cadillac 3rd Royal Fleet

A select but really competitive handicap to solve and it is easy to see why WICKYWICKYWHEELS will prove popular given she's on a steep upwards trajectory and goes on any ground. Viola finished fifth in a Group 2 here last time out and is noted running in a handicap for the first time since January, while Strawberri represents an in-form yard and is entitled to get closer to Wickywickywheels now she's 4lb better off at the weights for a one-and-a-half-length defeat last time.
Prediction : 1st Wickywickywheels 2nd Strawberri 3rd Viola

In this competitive contest marginal preference is for HORTZADAR, who has dropped to an appealing mark after his recent lacklustre efforts. The David O'Meara-trained gelding may be able to bounce back to form and gets the tentative vote in these calmer waters. Good Birthday must be respected after a decisive win at Yarmouth last time out, while General Lee completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Hortzadar 2nd Good Birthday 3rd General Lee

This can go the way of TRUSTY RUSTY, who has been in terrific form of late but must prove herself on the drop back in trip. Tony Carroll's charge was only narrowly denied over C&D last August, though, and she has shown enough pace in recent starts to suggest she could thrive under these conditions. A two-time winner already this season, Glamorous Breeze is proven at the distance and she is entitled to go close along with the improving Glamorous Express. Dream By Day is another to consider on his first start for new connections.
Prediction : 1st Trusty Rusty 2nd Glamorous Breeze 3rd Dream By Day
