UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

A highly-promising second on debut at Newmarket last month behind an exciting prospect, I CAN DANCE sets the standard and he can go one better with William Buick taking over in the saddle. Last Verse didn't build on an encouraging debut effort when fifth at York last time but it is too soon to be writing him off, while Lopeo should only benefit from the experience gained on his first outing.
Prediction : 1st I Can Dance 2nd Last Verse 3rd Lopeo

BRISK SYMPHONY continues to go from strength to strength and a mark of 82 on her nursery debut may not be enough to prevent Jonathan Portman's filly from landing the hat-trick. Arriving here under a 6lb penalty after landing a Listed contest at Ripon recently, Anaisa is entitled to be thereabouts, along with Nifty, who is another in top form following successes at Salisbury and Chelmsford.
Prediction : 1st Brisk Symphony 2nd Anaisa 3rd Nifty

This can go the way of ROACH POWER, who has maintained his consistency since his winning run came to an end last month and the booking of Rossa Ryan catches the eye as the six-year-old looks to notch up a sixth career success. Not beaten too far over C&D in July, Speed Of Maajid remains unexposed, whereas Faustus is an old hand but cannot be ruled out.
Prediction : 1st Roach Power 2nd Speed Of Maajid 3rd Faustus

GOODWOOD MOGUL finished a close second over a mile at Pontefract last time. He promises to show further improvement over this additional distance and William Buick's presence is another positive. Jupiter Ammon returns to this level with solid claims, having been beaten only a neck in handicap company at Sandown last month, while Master Vintner has joined Ralph Beckett's yard and is one to note on his third behind Scandinavia in May.
Prediction : 1st Goodwood Mogul 2nd Jupiter Ammon 3rd Master Vintner

Aggagio won over C&D in June and could shape well if the rain arrive, while Manxman is looking to bounce back having tasted success here in May. However, SIXPACK was having only his second start for James Owen's yard when missing out by the narrowest of margins over 1m6f at this track last time. The son of Sea The Moon could have more to offer over this distance and gets the vote.
Prediction : 1st Sixpack 2nd Aggagio 3rd Manxman

PLATINUM PRINCE could be tough to overhaul and can enhance his course record with a third win here this season. Indeed, the reliable eight-year-old was a tenacious winner over 1m1f here last month and a 3lb rise should be manageable. Fellow course winner Bownder has been knocking on the door of late and is capable of another bold showing, while Premier and the unexposed Dancing Tiger are other solid contenders.
Prediction : 1st Platinum Prince 2nd Bownder 3rd Premier

A Listed winner last year, ENGLEMERE has been highly tried since and her most recent finishing positions don't tell the whole story. Fresh from a break since finishing down the field in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot, this may prove to be a more realistic level and could be ideal. Any rain will be a bonus for Eye Of Dubai, who is feared most. The low-mileage Rory Rocket also commands respect.
Prediction : 1st Englemere 2nd Eye Of Dubai 3rd Rory Rocket
