UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

A competitive renewal which sees several intriguing contenders lining up, including 2021 winner Calling The Wind. He arrives here following a career-best effort when taking the Northumberland Plate and cannot be dismissed off 4lb higher. That being said, TEMPORIZE was only narrowly denied when securing a staying-on second over 2m at Ascot last month and, with the potential for more to come, is fancied to get the better of Irish raider Tronador. Hydroplane and Emiyn appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Temporize 2nd Tronador 3rd Calling The Wind

Connections of NOSTRUM must have been very tempted by the Sussex Stakes, but the decision to keep their sights lower for the time being should be rewarded. A third in last year's Dewhurst remains his sole defeat and the way he powered clear of his rivals on his Newmarket comeback strongly suggested that he is a Group 1 winner in waiting. Galeron emerged from a couple of Classics with credit, while Docklands continued on his upward curve when landing the Britannia. Epictetus and Knight are on retrieval missions.
Prediction : 1st Nostrum 2nd Galeron 3rd Docklands

Blue For You was runner-up to stable companion Orbaan in last year's renewal and the five-year-old arrives 3lb well-in under a penalty following a comfortable success at York. Awaal warrants plenty of consideration based on his efforts in big-field handicaps and the return to softer ground, along with first-time cheekpieces, will benefit him, but the vote goes to LATTAM. William Haggas' four-year-old has plenty in his favour and may still have further improvement to come following his victories at the Curragh and Newcastle so far this term.
Prediction : 1st Lattam 2nd Blue For You 3rd Awaal

HIGHFIELD PRINCESS arrives here on the back of three outstanding efforts in defeat this season and the switch back to Group 2 company may see the six-year-old return to winning ways. Equilateral has also been running well this season and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although the progressive Equality should not be underestimated. Those looking for an each-way alternative should consider White Lavender, who is likely to have conditions in her favour.
Prediction : 1st Highfield Princess 2nd Equilateral 3rd Equality

HAMISH was taken out of last weekend's King George on account of the ground, but he loves to get his toe in and this is a more suitable assignment for him anyway. William Haggas' grand servant numbered Teumessias Fox among his victims when lifting the Silver Cup at York and he has won five times at this level already. Mimikyu has shown some wayward tendencies so cheekpieces could help harness her undoubted ability. Candleford, a stablemate of the selection, is better than he showed on his reappearance here.
Prediction : 1st Hamish 2nd Mimikyu 3rd Candleford

Plenty of connections will be arriving here confident that their charges can land this prize, but perhaps none more so than those affiliated to FLAG OF ST GEORGE. Jane Chapple-Hyam's runner was a good second over 6f at Windsor last time where he was beaten just three quarters of a length. Off the same mark, he appears primed to offer another bold bid. Starlust arrives here seeking a hat-trick and this opening mark of 89 doesn't appear out of his reach, while Loaded Gun should also be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Flag Of St George 2nd Starlust 3rd Loaded Gun

True Legend registered his third win of the year at Salisbury last weekend, but he has a penalty to contend with in a stronger race against some unexposed opponents. BALANCE PLAY had Perfect Play behind him when third on Derby day at Epsom and then got off the mark when justifying favouritism at Chester. He is proven with give underfoot, as is Intricacy, who had something up his sleeve at Ascot and is a lively danger. Kintaro is bred to stay so could represent each-way value on his handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Balance Play 2nd Intricacy 3rd Kintaro
