1.50, Goodwood – Goodwood Handicap (2m 4½f)
Temporize is a progressive stayer who won this race last year, and is expected to remain very competitive after a 3lb rise for winning a 2m handicap at Newbury last time. However, KYLE OF LOCHALSH finished just under three lengths behind him that day and looks capable of reversing that form here.
He was never ideally placed, having been held up off a slow pace, and is slightly better off at the weights with his old rival. The son of Highland Reel has already proved his stamina for this extreme trip when finishing strongly in third place in the Ascot Stakes (2m 4f).
Selection: Kyle Of Lochalsh @ 9/2 with BetMGM
2.25, Goodwood – Bonhams Thoroughbred Stakes Group 3 (1m)
Top-rated Al Musmak improved for the drop back to a mile when winning a Listed race last time, with a few of these in behind. The shorter trip is also expected to suit DANCING GEMINI, who ran an absolute cracker to finish second on his seasonal debut in the French 2,000 Guineas.
He was disappointing in the Eclipse at Sandown last time but this represents a drop in class and a return to the level of form shown in France may well be good enough to claim the spoils here.
Selection: Dancing Gemini @ 4/1 with BetMGM
3.00, Goodwood – Golden Mile (1m)
This promises to be a fascinating encounter – and while there will be backers for those at the top of the market, it could prove prudent to look a little further down the betting.
Revich, the rank outsider at 40/1, was second in this contest two years ago and could challenge if replicating that type of performance, but the nod here goes to Charlie Johnston’s DUTCH DECOY at a nice 14/1.
The seven-year-old will have to overcome a wide draw in stall 20, but he was third in the 2023 edition of the Golden Mile and arrives here 3lb lower than that podium performance.
Dutch Decoy looks well handicapped and he has been trending in the right direction of late, finishing fifth at Hamilton Park on July 2 before producing his best effort of the campaign when third at Newmarket’s July Course 18 days later.
That display at HQ has nudged him up 3lb in the weights, but that is still the same mark as his last success at Newmarket in July 2023 and there is also the added benefit of Joe Fanning returning to the saddle.
Selection: Dutch Decoy @ 14/1 with BetMGM
3.35, Goodwood – King George Qatar Stakes Group 2 (5f)
Big Evs won the Molecomb Stakes here as a two-year-old and is likely to give it a good go from the front, but ASFOORA ran him down in the Group 1 King Charles at Royal Ascot last time and is expected to back that effort up.
That performance is possibly worth upgrading, having raced away from the main action. A 5lb penalty for that victory does not look enough to stop her and this Australian raider can confirm her superiority over the British and Irish sprinters.
Selection: Asfoora @ 3/1 with BetMGM
