Daily Double
Ulysses, Goodwood 14:35
Sir Michael Stoute has won the Gordon Stakes a record eight times, and looks to have a strong chance of adding to that record on Wednesday with his pair of runners Platitude and Ulysses. Ulysses was sent off at just 8/1 for the Epsom Derby last month with just a maiden win to his name.
He carries a big reputation with his expert trainer, and is the preferred option in the hope that he can belatedly build on his impressive eight-length maiden win at Newbury. He is by Galileo out of the Oaks winner Light Shift and Wednesday’s 10f test is expected to be his optimum trip.

A Shin Kildare, Galway 16:45
Dermot Weld and Finny Maguire have teamed up to win the last two runnings of this maiden and the pair look to have a strong chance of bringing up the hat-trick with $500,000 yearling A Shin Kildare.
She’s entitled to do better than her debut third at the Curragh last time, where a lack of experience just told late on. A Shin Kildare will likely need to improve to land this and beat the standard-setting Easy Pass.
But based on her yard and pedigree she should be able to win this before going on to better things in time.
