Matt Chapman’s Horse Racing Tips

13:50 – Lord Of Love
14:25 – Jabaara
15:00 – Aesterius
15:35 – Henry Longfellow

13:50 – Lord Of Love

ITV Racing is back at Glorious Goodwood with Wednesday getting under way with a 3yo handicap over 1m 4f. This is pretty open. Lots of improvers, none more so than LORD OF LOVE who battled on well when up in trip to deny Wonder Kid at Newmarket last time.

He’s up 4lb here but still looks raw and capable to improve more. The draw is good and he’ll be hard to kick out of the frame under Kieran Shoemark. I’m not judging him by Wonder Kid’s run at Ascot the other day as his old rival was slowly away that day.

14:25 – Jabaara

Up in class now for the Group 3 Oak Tree Stakes for fillies and mares over 7f. Not a great renewal and I see no reason why JABAARA won’t score for Roger Varian and James Doyle. The selection raced the race of her life to chase home Porta Fortuna in a Group 1 at Falmouth last time.

That was over a mile, but she was good over this trip in her previous two starts, and the ground will be no issue and might be a little faster than Kathmandu would like.

15:00 – Aesterius

Now for a race for sprinting juveniles in the Group 3 Molecomb over 5f. I suspect AESTERIUS is very good and could be another for James Doyle but this time with Archie Watson.

The son of Mehmas was a good winner on debut at Bath and went to Royal Ascot after finishing a fair fifth to Shareholder in the Norfolk. He was a shorter price than his owner companion that day and impressed at Sandown last time.

15:35 – Henry Longfellow

The big race of the week is the Group 1 Sussex Stakes over 1m. Pace was always going to be crucial here even when Rosallion was in the showpiece. But it’s even more so now with HENRY LONGFELLOW gifted a great opportunity to make all the running.

The St James’ Palace Stakes runner-up looks sure to get an uncontested lead and I can’t see Notable Speech being good enough to get by even though he was brilliant in the 2000 Guineas. He had a huge fitness advantage that day. This one should go to Ryan Moore and Aidan O’Brien.

So best of luck and pray for Yeeehaaas. You hear me Paddy?
