UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

Royaume Uni was in good form when last seen over hurdles in April and he should prove competitive now running off a 6lb lower mark than when last seen on the Flat, with Lifetime Legend also one to be interested in now upped in distance. With race fitness assured, however, BYRON HILL makes most appeal after a convincing display when winning over this distance at Ffos Las a fortnight ago and he could prove a 5lb rise to be lenient.
Prediction : 1st Byron Hill 2nd Royaume Uni 3rd Lifetime Legend

Despite being friendless in the betting, there was plenty to like about Many Rivers' debut effort at Newbury and she has to go on the shortlist here along with Yacowlef, who was a promising third over this C&D on his penultimate start, and Swift Asset, whose best form sets the standard. Any value, however, could lie with the steadily improving FIERCE, who could plausibly find another level over this extra furlong.
Prediction : 1st Fierce 2nd Yacowlef 3rd Many Rivers

With ground conditions looking set to be ideal, it is entirely feasible that LOVELY BREEZE can avenge a narrow defeat at the hands of Spanish Star in last year's renewal of this race. Hugo Palmer's filly already has two C&D wins to her name and William Buick, who was in the saddle for one of those comfortable successes, is booked once again. Lihou creeps in at the foot of the weights and also merits respect.
Prediction : 1st Lovely Breeze 2nd Spanish Star 3rd Lihou

In this competitive contest marginal preference goes to the Charlie & Mark Johnston-trained BENACRE, who sits 6lb higher than when making all at Epsom last time out. William Buick boasts an impressive record at this venue and he can add another win to that tally with this progressive son of Australia. Solutre rates the most immediate danger after shedding the maiden tag at Newcastle on his latest outing. Eminency hit the line with plenty of conviction when fifth at Doncaster and he completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Benacre 2nd Solutre 3rd Eminency

Alumnus looks an interesting contender with William Buick booked for his debut, but RATHGAR took a decent step forward when third behind a few nice types here last month and with potentially more to come from Mick Channon's colt, he's fancied to make it third-time lucky. King's Code and Ramensky both hail from powerful yards and they've shown enough on their previous starts to suggest they can go close today.
Prediction : 1st Rathgar 2nd Alumnus 3rd Kings Code

PRIDE OF PRIORY didn't receive much luck in running when attempting to make it four on the bounce at Hamilton in August and the son of Pivotal is likely to bounce back on this occasion. Saratoga Gold has progressed nicely on his most recent efforts and arrives in search of a four-timer, having gone up 14lb for those victories. Tritonic was last seen finishing second at Newmarket in April and is expected to be competitive along with Ajero.
Prediction : 1st Pride Of Priory 2nd Saratoga Gold 3rd Tritonic

DELOREAN disappointed when finishing a distant ninth at Haydock last month, but he had proven himself at the same venue the time before on handicap debut and Ralph Beckett's gelding may benefit from an ease in grade. Mystery Fox sports first-time cheekpieces and could have a say in proceedings for a stable currently in decent form. Alablaq has been a consistent performer of late and he is respected, while Stately Home and Global Esteem appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Delorean 2nd Mystery Fox 3rd Alablaq
