17:45 Goodwood Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Any market support for debutants Kalahari Blue and Green Ace must be respected, but SOLDIER'S HEART rates as the most solid proposition. The Havana Grey colt found only subsequent Coventry Stakes fifth Al Qudra too strong on his introduction over 6f at Lingfield earlier this month. This drop in trip should suit and a breakthrough victory could be on the cards. Invincible Song makes most appeal of the remainder with race experience.

SOLDIER'S HEART chased home one who ran well in the Coventry on his Lingfield debut and should take a bit of stopping unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding one of the newcomers. Kalahari Blue has a useful pedigree and gets a tentative vote for the forecast spot before any betting clues are known.

This can go to SOLDIER'S HEART who showed plenty of promise when a clear second on his Lingfield debut.

Road To Wembley

4
4/1(+0%)
(4) Road To Wembley 4/1, Big improver when winning over 1½m at Wolverhampton and 1¼m at Lingfield in first 2 handicaps. May well have found a third outing in quick succession to much when only third at Southwell (11f) in April and can resume his progression after a break.
Failed in hat-trick bid at Southwell in April and makes his turf debut up another 4lb.

2/1(+43%)
(1) Cool Legend 2/1, AW maiden winner in December. Hasn't taken a step forward in handicaps this summer but he has contested strong events at the York Dante and Epsom Dante meetings. Big player with his sights lowered slightly.
Out of the frame in two turf handicaps, but respected back up in trip and down in class.

Bath novice winner last autumn, but beaten a long way on return; needs to step up quickly.

Pure Of Heart

(3) Pure Of Heart 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Improved when second of 10 in maiden (13/2) at Lingfield (1½m, AW) 20 days ago. Will need to improve again to defy what isn't an obviously generous opening handicap mark.
Has shown ability in three starts; open to further progress now handicapping.

Third on stable debut here last month; should stay and not dismissed on handicap debut.

18:20 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Road To Wembley was thwarted in his hat-trick bid when third at Southwell last time out. Richard Hughes' inmate is also a further 4lb higher in the ratings and he may prove vulnerable once more. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a punt on the downgraded COOL LEGEND, who will appreciate a return to this distance, more so in these calmer waters. Handicap debutant Pure Of Heart arrives here on a fair mark and she also enters calculations.

ROAD TO WEMBLEY has been freshened up since losing his unbeaten handicap record at Southwell in April and is taken to resume his progression. Cool Legend should find this a little easier than the handicaps he's contested at the York Dante and Epsom Derby meetings and is second choice ahead of David Simcock handicap newcomer Lord Chamberlain.

The vote goes to COOL LEGEND whose sixth of 12 in a 0-100 contest at Epsom on Derby Day was probably better than it looked.

20/1(+20%)
(1) Naval Commander 20/1, Still capable of useful form on AW last spring. Not seen since a below-par run at Kempton last July (final start for Robyn Brisland). The betting should guide on return for Barry Brennan.
Makes his debut for new trainer after almost a year off; enough to prove.

Mr Freedom

11/4(+17%)
(6) Mr Freedom 11/4, Pulled up in Swinton hurdle at Haydock last time but he has been largely consistent in that sphere, including a win at Plumpton in March. Also had a good spell on the Flat last summer and could still have some mileage in his mark.
Has been hurdling, but completed a hat-trick on the Flat this time last year; interesting.

Premiere Ligne

2/1(+20%)
(7) Premiere Ligne 2/1, Built on a good reappearance third at Windsor when landing his first success in Britain in 11.5f Lingfield handicap (good) 29 days ago. Quickened clear in quite taking fashion and isn't handicapped out of things after a 4 lb rise.
Won at Lingfield last month; did it well so 4lb rise shouldn't preclude another big effort.

Regained winning form at Doncaster three weeks ago; still fairly treated after 3lb rise.

Back off last winning mark, but both efforts since returning last month need improving on.

All four wins over this trip; has run well in two of his three starts for this yard.

(5) Running The Game 40/1, AW novice winner at Kempton in January and creditable fourth in handicap there later that month. Stopped quickly when well held (AW again) in March and given a break since.
Off since disappointing at Kempton in March; market may reveal what is expected on return.

18:50 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Having built on his promising reappearance third at Windsor in April with a victory the following month at Lingfield, PREMIERE LIGNE looks one to keep the right side of. A 4lb rise in the ratings looks on the lenient side and the five-year-old is taken to complete a double. Robusto and Lexington Knight aren't easily dismissed in their current form either.

MR FREEDOM was pulled up in the Swinton Hurdle at Haydock last time but Sheena West's 5-y-o, who did really well on the Flat last year, is not the type to stay down for long. He's selected ahead of last month's Lingfield scorer Premiere Ligne and Lexington Knight..

The choice is MR FREEDOM who has been busy over hurdles since October, but who completed a hat-trick on the Flat this time last year.

Won over hurdles early last year, but things haven't gone his way since; cheekpieces on.

Second at Wolverhampton in April, but this looks tougher and drop in trip unlikely to suit.

19:25 Goodwood Maiden (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Open Secret could only manage fourth on his handicap debut at Doncaster, but he has to be considered now in maiden company with a top rating of 78 in this contest. However, TACTICIAN could improve past him. Andrew Balding's colt has finished fifth on each of his two starts to date and he kept on at one pace over an extended 1m3f at Yarmouth, suggesting this step up in trip would be a good move. Story Horse is another to consider.

OPEN SECRET put up a fair showing for a long way in a decent-looking 3-y-o handicap over this trip at Doncaster 3 weeks ago and could be the way to go back in a maiden with a promising 7 lb claimer taking over. Tactician can improve over this longer trip and looks the big danger.

This looks a good opportunity for OPEN SECRET who should find this easier than the 0-100 handicap he contested last time.

2lb higher than when just beaten on AW last time; has form on turf; shortlisted.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

20:00 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Swindon boasts an appealing profile after filling the runner-up spot at Chepstow and it would be no surprise to see him get involved off an opening mark of 84 now up in trip. However, the vote goes to the more battle-hardened GET THE MUSIC ON. Clive Cox's filly bounced back when only denied by a head at Kempton and she is just 2lb higher for that effort. If she remains in the same form, she could prove hard to beat. Dashinwhitesargent isn't out of it either.

DASHINWHITESARGENT upped his game at Epsom on handicap debut and looks the sort to go on progressing, so he's marginally preferred to American Bay who looks capable of better. Get The Music On is another big player if fully effective on turf.

This can go to handicap debutant SWINDON (nap), who probably still has plenty more to offer after just two starts.

20:35 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

ENCHANTING bolted up over track and trip last week and she makes a quick turnaround under a 6lb penalty. William Carver negates 3lb of that with his claim and Andrew Balding's filly looks difficult to oppose. The main threat is Monday's Windsor scorer Kiss And Run, who might still be improving, while Grandlad is a C&D winner and that counts for plenty here.

ENCHANTING made all in good style here last week and she can follow up under a penalty if in the same form. Grandlad, the other C&D winner in the field, could be the danger.

The choice is ENCHANTING who is 5lb well in under a penalty for her easy win over C&D seven days ago.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
