13:50 – Goodwood – Live In The Moment

ITV Saturday at Glorious Goodwood starts here with a handicap over six furlongs. LIVE IN THE MOMENT is drawn next to the stands rail which might be an advantage if it comes up very soft and there is lots of rain on the day. It’s hard to say whether he’s better at 5f or 6f, but if he pings out he’ll get away from many of these and Shariq Mahd takes off a useful 7lb and an apprentice might not be a bad thing on a freewheeler. Fingers crossed the Alice Haynes runner is back to his best.

14:05 – Newmarket – Lady Wulfrun

ITV also go to Newmarket Saturday for this nursery handicap for juveniles over six furlongs. LADY WULFRUN should go well here for Andrew Balding and David Probert. My selection will stay on well here – was entered up over 7f recently – and has shown some promise in three starts so far. A mark of 71 seems workable.

14:25 – Goodwood – Sweet William

Another handicap but this time over a mile and three-quarters. SWEET WILLIAM is so progressive that he might well cope with a rise in the weights to 95. He was off 88 when hacking up at Newbury the other day and that looked a fair event. Ground and distance are no issue and it will just depend whether this is a step too far for the John & Thady runner ridden by Robert Havlin for Normandie Stud.

14:40 – Newmarket – Amusement

A Listed race over a mile and a half. Ratings aren’t everything but this is a big chance for AMUSEMENT for Donnacha O’Brien and Gavin Ryan. The slight drop in trip should help as she has been running well without winning of late and her fourth behind Shamida at Leopardstown was a decent enough performance. The third last time to Emily Dickinson gives the daughter of Dubawi a banging chance.

15:00 – Goodwood – Free Wind

A Group 2 now in the Lillie Langtry for fillies and mares over 1m 6f. Hard to get away from FREE WIND who is back down in class having found Pyledriver too strong in the Hardwicke at Royal Ascot. She ran flat that day and is a lot better than that effort suggests. That said, she might not have to be here. Soft ground is no issue and is another for John & Thady Gosden with Frankie Dettori on top.

15:35 – Goodwood – Orazio

The big betting race of the week in the Stewards’ Cup Handicap over six furlongs. This is very dull, but I actually just think leading fancy ORAZIO will land the prize. He was in blistering form on soft ground earlier in the season with wins at Newmarket and Ascot before finishing sixth in the Wokingham when he failed to have the pace needed on the fast ground.
