UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

MISTER WHIPPY confirmed the promise that he displayed on debut when a close second at Newbury a couple of weeks ago. With further improvement likely, Ed Walker's gelding could be hard to beat on this occasion. George Cross bumped into a useful rival with previous race experience when runner-up on his racecourse bow at Ffos Las and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection. That said, Somerton and See The Mountain should not be discounted.
Prediction : 1st Mister Whippy 2nd George Cross 3rd Somerton

Inspired is bound to be popular having finished second in his two starts starts either side of a Hamilton success in July. That said, preference is for OLIVER SHOW, who was a close fourth in a valuable contest over 7f here a month ago, despite meeting with trouble in running. The return to a mile should not be a problem for the six-year-old and he is clearly on a workable mark. Others to consider are Masked Warrior, Principality and Drifts Away.
Prediction : 1st Oliver Show 2nd Inspired 3rd Masked Warrior

Given how open this race appears to be, only a tentative vote can go to FANDOM. Richard Hannon's gelding failed to fire in the Stewards' Cup over C&D but bounced right back to form when third off a 1lb higher mark at Ascot last time. Rapper's Delight was not beaten far despite finishing eighth here most recently and that followed two narrow seconds in July. Havana Hurricane's latest effort can easily be forgiven and is now on mark off which he could be dangerous, while Fast Track Harry and Purosangue complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Fandom 2nd Rappers Delight 3rd Havana Hurricane

Redline has won both her races at Carlisle and Ayr, where she used her debut experience to make all and see off any challengers. She could be a tough nut to crack and hang on for a place. Coaxed is another potential front-runner after scoring by a neck on her Kempton debut and is open to plenty of improvement, but they may set the race up for NUIT D'ECLAIR. The Amo filly might have idled after hitting the front cruising at Newmarket and can pounce if held on to for a little longer.
Prediction : 1st Nuit Declair 2nd Coaxed 3rd Redline

William Haggas has trained two of the three winners of this race and has chances once again with Lorca's Waltz, a winner at Beverley in June but unplaced since. He can go well, as can Doncaster winner Echalar and Gloryous, who scored at Kempton on Wednesday, but the nod goes to SUDBURY HILL. A three-time winner, the latest at Salisbury last month which he followed with a second at the same track, he gets on well with Callum Rodriguez and his consistency gives Harry Derham's gelding the edge.
Prediction : 1st Sudbury Hill 2nd Lorcas Waltz 3rd Echalar

Squire Danagher sprung a 50/1 surprise when accounting for Personal Best by just under a length at Sandown in June and is expected to confirm that form to go close. Synergism is a player based on his third in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle on his penultimate start, but SENOR CORTEZ is taken to continue his winning sequence. John Butler's gelding had Maxident (second) behind when completing the hat-trick at Kempton earlier this month and he remains the one to beat.
Prediction : 1st Senor Cortez 2nd Squire Danagher 3rd Personal Best

Obito returned to winning ways with a comfortable victory over this distance at Ayr and has to be considered in his attempt to complete a double, but A MAJOR PAYNE might get the better of him. Michael Bell's inmate wasn't beaten far into third in a class 3 contest at Windsor on his most recent start and a reproduction of that display would make him tough to beat. Due To Henry is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st A Major Payne 2nd Obito 3rd Due To Henry
