UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

AMLETO proved a ready winner of a Chester maiden in May and, with the second subsequently going close in handicap company, William Haggas' gelding could be well treated debuting in this sphere. Westerton has shaped as if he would be suited by this stiffer test and isn't taken lightly. The son of Belardo could emerge as the chief threat to the selection, ahead of Struth and Tagabawa, who have both performed with credit at this level.
Prediction : 1st Amleto 2nd Westerton 3rd Struth

This could go the way of the hat-trick seeking WHITE MOONLIGHT, who steps up in grade following a comfortable success in Listed company on the all-weather last month. With the potential of more to come, she is fancied to get the better of Fast Response, who finished seven and a quarter lengths behind the selection at Musselburgh on her penultimate outing. Others of interest include Jumbly and Matilda Picotte, who both drop in grade from their latest runs.
Prediction : 1st White Moonlight 2nd Fast Response 3rd Jumbly

Big Evs was an imposing winner of the Windsor Castle in June and it's difficult to envisage him being far away, but preference is for KYLIAN. A beaten favourite on his first two starts, the penny appeared to drop at Newcastle and he took another significant step forward when bolting up in the Dragon Stakes at Sandown. Purosangue weakened late on in the July Stakes at Newmarket but, down in both trip and grade, he's likely to go well. Baheer and Shagraan are far from out of this either.
Prediction : 1st Kylian 2nd Big Evs 3rd Purosangue

PADDINGTON has improved markedly this year as he started off in a Naas handicap off 97. A couple of starts later he was winning the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh and the Group 1 wins have just kept on coming, as he was awesome in the St James's Palace Stakes before showing his versatility to beat Emily Upjohn over 10 furlongs in the Coral-Eclipse. It is very difficult to get away from Aidan O'Brien's son of Siyouni and he's taken to have too much class for Queen Anne Stakes second Inspiral lining up in receipt of 4lb from the daughter of Frankel. Chindit might have a squeak if he can come back to his Lockinge form.
Prediction : 1st Paddington 2nd Inspiral 3rd Chindit

TROPICAL ISLAND justified strong market support when making a winning debut at Ripon 11 days ago and, open to any amount of improvement, she could take this step up in class in her stride. Harvanna has impressively notched a double and warrants plenty of respect representing a Karl Burke stable that continues to fire out the winners, while Dapperling must enter calculations following her massive effort when second in the Weatherbys Super Sprint.
Prediction : 1st Tropical Island 2nd Harvanna 3rd Dapperling

In a wide-open event marginal preference is for the highly-progressive LA ISLA MUJERES, who created a big impression when accounting for a decent field by seven lengths at Salisbury last time. An 11lb rise for that success will make her life tougher here, but the daughter of Lope De Vega may well defy that on her way to stakes company. Decoration and Therapist also merit plenty of respect following some encouraging placed efforts on their most recent starts. Others to note are Sirona, Queen Regent and Value Added.
Prediction : 1st La Isla Mujeres 2nd Decoration 3rd Therapist

THUNDER BALL ran a blinder to finish fourth in the Britannia at Royal Ascot, having been raised a 16lb for his Newbury novice success. The Night Of Thunder gelding has gone up a further 3lb for that latest effort, but he is still improving and could have further progress in his locker. Paul & Oliver Cole's charge receives a tentative vote in a wide-open contest, while Rhoscolyn, who bounced back to form with a fair second at Beverley nine days ago, can give him plenty to think about. Isla Kai, Darkness, Urban Sprawl and Classic are just a few others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Thunder Ball 2nd Rhoscolyn 3rd Isla Kai
