UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

Having finished in the runner-up spot on her last two outings, compensation may beckon for CINQUE VERDE. The daughter of Sioux Nation looked to find her latest second over 5f here on the sharp side and she makes plenty of appeal reverting to 6f. Although Fine Interview failed to justify favouritism at Haydock eight days ago, it is too early to write him off. The four-year-old is feared most, ahead of the Richard Hughes-trained Knebworth.
Prediction : 1st Cinque Verde 2nd Fine Interview 3rd Knebworth

Having been slowly away and staying on into second over C&D last month, STELLAR SUNRISE should have learned plenty from that opening bid. Andrew Balding's colt could prove tough to beat with that experience under his belt and appears the one to beat. The biggest threat may emerge from Poatan, who looks a likely improver stepping up in trip after his third at Beverley. Ahead Of Fashion cannot be dismissed dropping in class, while market support for newcomer River Spey would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Stellar Sunrise 2nd Poatan 3rd Ahead Of Fashion

Having weakened away tamely at Wolverhampton last month, Very Mindful has something to prove at present. The application of first-time blinkers could perk the daughter of Havana Gold up and she shouldn't be underestimated judged on her previous exploits. However, CANYOUHEARTHEDRUMS hasn't been disgraced in class 2 contests of late and these calmer waters may enable a breakthrough victory. Dinamo and Miss Apres are others of interest.
Prediction : 1st Canyouhearthedrums 2nd Very Mindful 3rd Dinamo

A respectable fourth in a Group 2 contest last year, MISS TONNERRE is clear of today's rivals on official ratings. She faded away in the closing stages of the Musidora at York on last month's reappearance, but retains the potential to win at this level and Ed Walker's yard has hit top form. Anna Swan will appreciate any cut in the ground and has the ability to feature, while the Kingman filly El Budoor took a step forward when scoring at Lingfield last time and is entitled to progress again.
Prediction : 1st Miss Tonnerre 2nd Anna Swan 3rd El Budoor

YOUTHFUL KING was beaten less than a length when runner-up over 1m6f at Salisbury. He was doing his best work in the closing stages and Luke Dace's inmate looks worth another try over this longer trip, given he was winning off today's mark last autumn. Aggagio lurks at the bottom of the handicap and he can land a blow, having placed over course and distance recently, while Spirit Mixer could shape well from the top of the weights.
Prediction : 1st Youthful King 2nd Aggagio 3rd Spirit Mixer

Eight-time Group 3 winner Hamish justified favouritism in a Listed contest when last seen and makes his return to action. The nine-year-old will be hoping for as much rain as possible and sets the standard with an official rating of 117, but the vote goes to BOLSTER. Karl Burke's charge struck in this class at Newmarket on his final start last season and was pestered on the lead when fourth in the Huxley at Chester last month. He hasn't hit his ceiling yet and could take a step forward to score. Last year's German Derby winner Palladium completes the shortlist on his debut for the Gosdens.
Prediction : 1st Bolster 2nd Hamish 3rd Palladium

Racingbreaks Ryder outran his odds of 33/1 to make the frame at Kempton last month and, with all five of his career victories coming on turf, he has to be respected. Rey De La Batalla could only manage sixth over C&D last time but takes a drop in grade and is one to watch. However, NARIKO was beaten by the smallest of margins into second at Doncaster when last seen and is just 2lb higher on her return to the fray. With a similar performance, she could be the one to beat.
Prediction : 1st Nariko 2nd Racingbreaks Ryder 3rd Rey De La Batalla
