13:30 Beverley – Majestic
Majestic needs to step up a little on the figures, but he’s been backward and retains plenty of scope for improvement after just a handful of Flat runs. His draw and run style are positives and he produced a career best when winning easily at Pontefract last time.

13:50 Goodwood – Fairy Cross
Soft ground asks a news question for all of these fillies, but I’m confident that Fairy Cross will be ideally suited by conditions given her dam was best on testing ground, winning the Group 2 Lanwades Stud Stakes. She’s also avoided ground quicker than good to date, and runs as if she will appreciate plenty of ease. Her second in the Star Stakes at Sandown is the best form on offer.
14:05 Beverley – Kitsune Power
Wait To Excel looks vulnerable here, and there is more solidity to the form of Kitsune Power, who didn’t get the best of runs when second to the classy Ajero at Glorious Goodwood on his latest start. He’d won two handicaps on good ground earlier in the season, and gives the impression that he will prove better at this trip than a mile.
14:25 Goodwood – Rhoscolyn
Rhoscolyn will appreciate the recent rain, and while he is effective on fast turf, his record on softer than good for his current yard shows he’s especially at home in such conditions, and his form figures in handicaps at around 7f with soft or heavy in the description reads 111 since picked up by current connections.
14:40 Beverley – Ainsdale
There are question marks over most of these, and while last year’s winner Tis Marvellous is again the one to beat on ratings, he’s not fired this year, and has rarely run to his best after a break. Ainsdale is also coming off a short lay-off, but Julie Camacho’s gelding travelled well on his yard debut in the Chipchase Stakes at Newcastle, and is the type to thrive for his new stable.
15:00 Goodwood – Hoo Ya Mal
A poor turnout for this Group 3, and Hoo Ya Mal ought to win without needing to run to the form he showed when placed in the Derby and the Gordon Stakes.

15:15 Newmarket – Great Ambassador
It’s tempting to stick with Summerghand after he broke an unfortunate losing run last weekend, but Great Ambassador was just as unlucky in the Stewards’ Cup, and is 7lb better off in this Listed race. Ed Walker’s gelding has been placed from bad draws in that race for the past two years, and deserves a change of fortune himself.
15:35 Goodwood – Mutasaabeq
Mutasaabeq is the form pick and ran as well as he ever has when a close second to Chindit in the Summer Mile at Ascot. Given he won well on soft ground at Thirsk in the spring, he shouldn’t be troubled by the rain, and is hard to oppose.
