UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

It is hard to oppose DEVIL'S POINT, who sets the bar very high. David Menuisier's three-year-old finished second in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster in October before being beaten into third in a Group 3 event at Deauville on his recent return, but this may prove to be an easier assignment. Grey Charger is preferred over Change For Good in the fight for the silver medal, as he could have plenty more to offer after his debut victory at Chelmsford in November.
Prediction : 1st Devils Point 2nd Grey Charger 3rd Change For Good

Manxman makes his return to action seeking a fifth victory in a row, but he is 4lb higher than his success at Pontefract in September and that will make life tougher for him. With that in mind, RATHGAR looks the way to go. Jack Channon's representative finished a close-up third on his return at Chelmsford after being gelded and he remains on the same mark. The four-year-old can take full advantage of this drop in grade, while Fox Vision warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st Rathgar 2nd Manxman 3rd Fox Vision

Lady Lightning beat Ellomate (third) on her debut at Wolverhampton last month and she was well on top at the line, so she is fancied to confirm that form, despite competing off 7lb worse terms. However, the vote goes to BROSAY, who improved on his debut effort at the Curragh to finish third at Dundalk on his latest outing and he could be the one to beat. Carderock needs to be monitored in the betting on his debut.
Prediction : 1st Brosay 2nd Lady Lightning 3rd Carderock

David Probert formed a winning partnership with Spanish Star in last year's corresponding race and, off just 3lb higher, another bold showing is expected. However, this is a deeper renewal and with the likes of Live In The Moment and Indian Creak likely to be setting warm fractions, things could be teed up nicely for GISBURN. The selection appeals off a competitive mark with forecast ground conditions ideal. Baldomero and Many A Star also add some spice.
Prediction : 1st Gisburn 2nd Spanish Star 3rd Live In The Moment

Clarendon House, who was second in the 2022 renewal of this race, commands respect dropping back into a handicap after a couple of spins in pattern company. Desperate Hero and King's Lynn should act on the ground conditions and can figure off competitive marks. However, Harry Brown and DREAM COMPOSER may be the pair to focus on, with the latter shading preference as a previous course and distance winner, with Joe Levy's 5lb claim an additional bonus.
Prediction : 1st Dream Composer 2nd Harry Brown 3rd Clarendon House

An eye-catcher when keeping on well for third on her return over 1m at Kempton last month, UNREAL CONNECTION has a strong staying pedigree on her dam's side and should be well suited by going up in trip. The daughter of Calyx gets the vote ahead of the recent Epsom winner Portsmouth, who has a 6lb penalty to overcome for that taking success. Show Biz Kid (third) has three-and-a-half lengths to make up from that contest but should not be discounted.
Prediction : 1st Unreal Connection 2nd Portsmouth 3rd Show Biz Kid

PHOENIX PASSION was always doing enough when scoring at Windsor last month and conditions are likely to be in his favour again as he looks to follow up off a 4lb higher mark. The form of the stable is another plus and he should have too much for the unexposed Muttasil, who is of interest on his handicap debut and stepping back up in trip. Daymer Bay showed some promise as a juvenile and cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Phoenix Passion 2nd Muttasil 3rd Daymer Bay
