UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

The Moores have four entrants and Officer Of State, who spent most of the winter over jumps, could be the pick of them. His hurdling form would give him a chance but the lack of a recent run might mean HARLINGTON is the safer option. Beaten a neck over 1m5f at Bath last month, the step up to two miles could elicit some improvement. Spiced Rum looks a huge danger having finished second at Southwell, but a 4lb rise may mean she has to settle for a place.
Prediction : 1st Harlington 2nd Spiced Rum 3rd Officer Of State

With little form in the book, it may be worth giving SING THE BLUES another chance. The daughter of Space Blues let favourite backers down at Newbury last time, but her debut third was full of promise. There is a chance quick ground didn't suit at the Berkshire circuit, but she could bounce back under forecast easier conditions. Reader is an appealing newcomer in receipt of weight, and she might get the better of Caballo Grande for second.
Prediction : 1st Sing The Blues 2nd Reader 3rd Caballo Grande

Authentic Charm has shown promise so far, most recently when fourth at Windsor, so he must be of interest stepped up in trip and into nurseries for the first time. MAGNATURA won at Kempton in June before finishing second under a penalty at Ffos Las. Although last of four at Sandown latest, it is possible ground conditions were too testing and he could bounce back. Amazing Journey was denied a clear run in a stronger race at York last time and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Magnatura 2nd Authentic Charm 3rd Amazing Journey

Slightly unlucky when short of room before running on well in second at Newmarket last time, THUNDER BLUE could make amends. Jamie Osborne's charge was a comfortable winner at Salisbury the start prior, and his current mark of 87 looks manageable. Placed on three of his last four racecourse appearances, First Folio is entitled to be thereabouts again, along with Aberama Gold, who finished a creditable fourth in the Ayr Silver Cup on his penultimate outing.
Prediction : 1st Thunder Blue 2nd First Folio 3rd Aberama Gold

A highly promising second on debut at Haydock last month when taking the measure of the reopposing Edwin Hubble (third), POSEIDON'S WARRIOR is open to any amount of improvement, and he can go one place better. Ranga Tang wasn't disgraced when fifth on his racecourse bow at Newmarket last month so he is considered, along with Roker Roar, whose yard know how to ready one first time out.
Prediction : 1st Poseidons Warrior 2nd Edwin Hubble 3rd Roker Roar

HAFEET ALAIN was an impressive winner on his seasonal return at Sandown in May and, given the strength of that form, it would be no surprise to see him score again on his first start since. The recent C&D winner Cerulean Bay is an obvious threat despite a 5lb rise, while his stablemate Theoryofeverything should not be underestimated. The shortlist is completed by Alpha Crucis, Brighton Boy and Native American.
Prediction : 1st Hafeet Alain 2nd Cerulean Bay 3rd Theoryofeverything

DAY OF GRACE had plenty in hand when making a winning handicap debut over a mile at Thirsk last month and William Haggas' filly is very hard to oppose on the back of that performance, especially as she may improve further for this extra distance. Just Keep Flying is another unexposed filly to consider, while Ferrari Gold edges out Roarin' Success and La Scanderbeide to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Day Of Grace 2nd Just Keep Flying 3rd Ferrari Gold
