UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

Al Hujaija pulled too hard at Newmarket last month and failed to get home as a result of that, but should benefit from this drop back in trip. However, the vote goes to RULING SOVEREIGN, who was a promising fourth at Windsor on debut. The George Scott-trained filly was very green on that occasion and looks sure to have benefitted from the experience, while the booking of James Doyle looks another positive sign. Adaay In Devon got off the mark in impressive style earlier this month and is also respected.
Prediction : 1st Ruling Sovereign 2nd Al Hujaija 3rd Adaay In Devon

An interesting mix of form versus potential here. Easy Haydock winner FOREVER BLUE looks a serious player and may represent a bit of value. Ralph Beckett's filly quickened clear inside the final furlong on her introduction in the manner of a very promising juvenile and there should be more to come. Elegant Madame, who could be a surprise package at a price after her cosy debut success, and Albany Stakes eighth Carla's Way are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Forever Blue 2nd Elegant Madame 3rd Carlas Way

Aldaary boasts some high-class form and, given he has won over a mile, he has to be taken very seriously in his bid to gain a first success at this level. However, CHARYN came out best when the duo finished third and fourth in the Sussex Stakes here 24 days ago and, granted his rock-solid previous efforts, Roger Varian's colt is taken to add to the Group 2 success he gained in France last October. Epictetus won a Group 3 over this C&D earlier in the month and also looks a big player.
Prediction : 1st Charyn 2nd Aldaary 3rd Epictetus

STAR OF ORION was a very good third in the International Stakes over 7f at Ascot last time and he appears the one to beat. Ralph Beckett's charge was beaten just three-quarters of a length in third on that occasion and he can enjoy a change of fortunes, despite being raised 2lb in the ratings for that effort. Ramazan is feared most after his one-length success over 7f at Chepstow off 3lb lower earlier this month, while Rhoscolyn should also be taken seriously.
Prediction : 1st Star Of Orion 2nd Ramazan 3rd Rhoscolyn

LUCKY FIFTEEN has already been a terrific servant for connections this season and, despite a further 7lb rise, the four-timer looks very much on the cards on the back of another comfortable success at Ffos Las last month. A winner over C&D on his penultimate outing, the son of Lope De Vega is preferred to narrow Hamilton second Mr Professor and Graignes, who is out again quickly after scoring at Sandown on Sunday.
Prediction : 1st Lucky Fifteen 2nd Graignes 3rd Mr Professor

This could go the way of recent distance runner-up FAUSTUS. He gets to compete off the same mark and, given Connor Planas knocks 3lb off the five-year-old's back, he is fancied to make a return to winning ways. Glamorous Breeze is not without a chance following a decent third at Ascot last month, while Lord Riddiford, a four-time C&D winner, and Angle Land are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Faustus 2nd Glamorous Breeze 3rd Lord Riddiford

There wasn't much to separate Ravens Ark (second) and Vaynor (third) over C&D in June and both are likely to be thereabouts again. However, NATHANAEL GREENE has been running consistently well all season without getting his head in front and looks to have been found an ideal opportunity by William Haggas. He went off 11/4 when fourth behind subsequent Ascot Gold Cup winner Courage Mon Ami over C&D in May, and that form reads well in the context of this handicap.
Prediction : 1st Nathanael Greene 2nd Vaynor 3rd Ravens Ark
