We’re finishing off our 2023 Glorious Goodwood tips with selections for all seven races on Saturday’s closing card.
The Coral Stewards’ Cup is the big betting event on day four, while there is also a classy Group Two contest and some other wide-open handicaps.
Produced a career-best effort when powering home to score at Thirsk a month ago, pulling away in fine style during the closing stages, and the booking of Ryan Moore suggests connections feel he is well treated with a 6lb penalty in the Stewards’ Cup consolation race.
Should strip fitter for his belated seasonal reappearance in the Northumberland Plate and can hopefully now get back to the kind of form which saw him land a valuable handicap prize at York in a convincing manner on his final start last season.
Kept on well to claim victory in the Middleton Fillies’ Stakes at York in May, which was her sixth win in seven outings at that point and a fourth Group-class triumph.
Frankie Dettori felt she simply put in a flat performance when fifth behind Pyledriver in the Hardwicke at Royal Ascot, but the ground was good to firm that day and the feeling is that she can bounce back on an easier surface in the Lillie Langtry Stakes following a nice break.
Co-trainer Thady Gosden said: “She won the Middleton over a trip below her optimum on her first run of the year and then she found the ground a little too fast for her by the Saturday of Ascot.
“Obviously, we’ve had rain at Goodwood this week and there’s more forecast. Hopefully it doesn’t get too deep, but she seems to be in good form. She has course form and we’re looking forward to running her.”
This one-time Dewhurst entry for Owen Burrows and Shadwell showed his first signs of real promise since joining Archie Watson when seventh of 20 at the Curragh recently.
Albasheer was hampered by some early skirmishing that day but recovered to get into contention at the furlong pole before his challenge just petered out late on and a mark of 97, down from a best of 112, is now interesting.
Broke his duck with a dominant display at Newbury and then belied odds of 66/1 by finishing a fine fourth of 29 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot, so we’re backing Paul and Oliver Cole’s three-year-old to remain on an upward curve in our Glorious Goodwood betting tips.
This half-brother to two useful winners in The Acropolis and Rocket Science was far from disgraced when fifth on his racecourse debut at Sandown, where he was only beaten by a length and a half after running green and getting caught on the inside.
Karl Burke had a cracking handicap success with Royal Rhyme on Thursday in the colours of Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum and the same connections can strike again with this past soft-ground scorer, who ran with credit when fourth at Newmarket last month.
