Glorious Goodwood Tips

The action continues at Goodwood on Saturday with a seven-race card that features the Stewards’ Cup.

There’s also Group action on the card with the Lillie Langtry and the Glorious Stakes.

We’ve picked out selections for all seven races on day five including a previous course winner who looks set to run well.

1.50 Goodwood - 1m4f Glorious Stakes (Group 3)

Phantom Flight put in a huge effort on his yard debut when winning at Newbury on his belated return to action last month and there could be more to come for this yard.

There’s a fair chance he’ll come on for that run provided that he doesn’t bounce and he’s always at his best on quick ground, so conditions should be in his favour once again.

Selection: Phantom Flight

2.25 Goodwood - 1m6f Summer Handicap (Class 2)

First-time blinkers seemed to ignite an improved performance from Fairbanks when winning a valuable handicap at Newmarket last time and if they have the same effect this time, he could be hard to pass from a 6lb higher mark.

Four-year-olds have an excellent recent record in this contest, so it’s probably worth siding with a horse on the up like this gelding and a 6lb rise may underestimate him.

Selection: Fairbanks

3.00 Goodwood - 1m6f Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes (Group 2) (Fillies & Mares)

In the same colours in the Lillie Langtry, Free Wind might have been underestimated in the market.

She’s 4lb clear of these rivals on official ratings and the extended 1m2f at York on her return is probably on the sharp side for her these days.

Heavy ground wasn’t in her favour in this contest last year but conditions seem to have come in her favour and she looks like the one to beat.

Selection: Free Wind

3.35 Goodwood - 6f Stewards' Cup (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2)

This is always a tough race to find the winner of but Dark Trooper has fairly obvious claims from a mark of 105.

He recorded a career best in France on his return and looked just as good when narrowly denied at Royal Ascot since, doing well from an unpromising track position and was first home of those that raced on his side; if he continues progressing, he could be the one to side with.

Selection: Dark Trooper

4.10 Goodwood - 7f Whispering Angel Handicap (Class 2)

Cuban Tiger was a Listed winner earlier in the season and bounced back from a poor run at Royal Ascot when fifth in a decent handicap at York last time, going off a bit too hard and paying the price in the closing stages.

He might be able to get an uncontested lead in this field and could be hard to beat if he does so.

Selection: Cuban Tiger

4.45 Goodwood - 7f British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes (Class 2)

After a huge run on his debut in a Group 2 at Royal Ascot, Angelo Buonarroti could take some beating dropping into maiden company.

To be only beaten three lengths in a race of that stature on debut suggests he’s well above average and he already sets the standard in this field.

Selection: Angelo Buonarroti

5.20 Goodwood - 1m1f We're Here For It Handicap (Class 3)

The finale of the week is a tricky puzzle to solve, but the one that appeals most at the current prices is Rowayeh.

This filly met a load of trouble in running when doing well to finish fourth in the Kensington Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot on her penultimate start and she was too keen on all-weather last time. However, this surface should be more to her liking and the slight drop in distance may help this filly settle better.

Selection: Rowayeh
