1st (6) King Of Conquest (4/1 +43%)
King Of Conquest

4/1(+43%)
(6) King Of Conquest 4/1, Lightly-raced 4-y-o who has taken his form up a level this season, landing big-field 9f handicaps in Bahrain and at Newmarket three weeks ago. Defied an official mark of 102 on latter occasion so he must enter calculations.
Most progressive in handicaps since the autumn, well worth a go at this level.

2nd (3) Francesco Clemente (0.83/1 +9%)
Francesco Clemente

0.83/1(+9%)
(3) Francesco Clemente 0.83/1, Well-bred son of Dubawi who took his unbeaten record to 3 in 4-runner handicap on Newmarket's July Course 10 months ago. Type to make a better 4-y-o and he's a big player.
Most progressive in winning all three starts last year and retains any amount of potential.

3rd (7) Phantom Flight (7.5/1 -25%)
Phantom Flight

7.5/1(-25%)
(7) Phantom Flight 7.5/1, A three-time winner in 2022 and he resumed with an encouraging third of 7 to Foxes Tales in listed race at Kempton (10f) 56 days ago. Can make his presence felt.
Lightly raced 4yo who didn't enjoy much luck on Kempton return; not easily dismissed.

4th (1) El Drama (4/1 +11%)
El Drama

4/1(+11%)
(1) El Drama 4/1, Smart horse who comes here on the back of a decent spell in Meydan in the spring, eighth of 14 to Lord North in Dubai Turf last time. Much respected.
Has won a Listed race and favoured by these terms, but unraced on ground firmer than good.
5th
5th (5) Jack Darcy (18/1 -29%)
Jack Darcy

18/1(-29%)
(5) Jack Darcy 18/1, Smart gelding but he signed off for 2022 with modest seventh in 12f Kempton listed event in November. He needs to hit the ground running on his return.
Good efforts in Group 3/Listed company last summer but didn't build on it; off six months.
LTO Selection:

13:30 Goodwood Listed (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

This revolves around Francesco Clemente and whether the unbeaten son of Dubawi is ready to step up to Listed company. The Gosdens have been patient, which has resulted in an unblemished record so far, but he has been off a fair while, whereas EL DRAMA is fit from Dubai. The Roger Varian-trained entire so nearly landed the Jebel Hatta before running with credit in the Dubai Turf, and he actually beat all bar Baaeed in a Group 3 on his only previous Goodwood appearance. King Of Conquest is progressing nicely and deserves a crack at this sort of prize.

FRANCESCO CLEMENTE has a ten-month absence to overcome but this imposing Dubawi colt looked a very good prospect when going unbeaten in three runs and is fancied to return in style before tackling better company. King of Conquest is another with better days ahead of him and rates the chief threat in his bid for a four-timer. El Drama also has the form to play a part in an intriguing listed contest.

This can go to the unbeaten FRANCESCO CLEMENTE, whose lofty entries later in the season suggest he is held in the highest regard.

1st (10) Urban Sprawl (7/1 +22%)
Urban Sprawl

7/1(+22%)
(10) Urban Sprawl 7/1, Likeable type who signed off for 2022 with back-to-back 7f nursery wins and has returned with good placed efforts at Musselburgh (1m) and Chester (7.5f). The drop to a bare 7f won't inconvenience this front-runner who is nicely drawn in stall 3.
He's well drawn to go forward and getting back on drier ground is no bad thing..
2
2nd (4) Yacowlef (4/1 +20%)
Yacowlef

4/1(+20%)
(4) Yacowlef 4/1, Won a 6f novice here last autumn. Good start in handicaps at Newmarket this spring, second of 14 over 6f at the Craven meeting before winning over 7f (heavy) 3 weeks ago. Considered up 6 lb.
Up 6lb for his Newmarket win but that's solid form and he's going the right way..
3
3rd (11) Tafreej (3/1 -9%)
Tafreej

3/1(-9%)
(11) Tafreej 3/1, Novice winner at 2. Split reopposing Richard Hannon pair Hectic and Dark Thirty in 7f Newbury handicap on reappearance, not seen to best effect having raced away from where main action unfolded. Definitely more to come from him.
Soft ground blunted his finishing kick at Newbury and deserves another chance..
4
4th (5) Dark Thirty (14/1 -40%)
Dark Thirty

14/1(-40%)
(5) Dark Thirty 14/1, Lost his way a bit after debut win last May but firmly back on the back on the up this month, building on Newmarket second when winning a 14-runner 7f handicap at York's Dante meeting last week. Should remain very competitive after a 3 lb rise.
Made all at York off 3lb lower; will do well to dominate this time from his wide draw..
5th
5th (2) Bresson (6.5/1 -8%)
Bresson

6.5/1(-8%)
(2) Bresson 6.5/1, Useful juvenile at up to 7f. Salisbury last time. Failed to fire with blinkers added in listed company on final start and the headgear is left off on return. Handicap debut. From a top stable and no surprise were he to go on to even better things at 3.
Debatable whether he's well handicapped but open to improvement at three..
6th
6th (6) Classic (12/1 +0%)
Classic

12/1(+0%)
(6) Classic 12/1, Useful 7f winner at 2. Not up the Greenham on Newbury reappearance and more realistic chance now switching to a handicap.
Last year's exploits offer definite hope but he ran no race in the Greenham..
7th
7th (13) Saturnalia (28/1 +15%)
Saturnalia

28/1(+15%)
(13) Saturnalia 28/1, Won 7f Wolverhampton novice in January. Creditable second on 1m Kempton handicap debut in March. Respectable sixth over 1m here since. Return to 7f won't inconvenience but this looks a tough ask.
Only sixth in a handicap here last time and he does stay 1m; others appeal more..
8th
8th (8) Seeking Gold (7.5/1 +17%)
Seeking Gold

7.5/1(+17%)
(8) Seeking Gold 7.5/1, 7f Yarmouth novice winner last summer. Not up to listed/Group 3 level on final 2 outings last year but still early days and no surprise were he to resume his progression on handicap debut/reappearance.
Highly tried after winning his novice; should have a future off this sort of mark..
9th
9th (1) Ancestral Land (25/1 +0%)
Ancestral Land

25/1(+0%)
(1) Ancestral Land 25/1, Useful sort. Failed to build on his reappearance fourth in the Craven when fourth in a 1m course conditions race 22 days and now drops back to 7f for handicap debut. Opening mark demands improvement.
Returning to 7f is a positive but may prefer softer ground and he's drawn wide..
10th
10th (12) Prairie Falcon (14/1 -27%)
Prairie Falcon

14/1(-27%)
(12) Prairie Falcon 14/1, Dual 6f/7f winner last summer. Two respectable efforts on return to action this spring without suggesting he has enough in hand of his mark to win a race like this.
Won a nursery here last summer but has made a quiet start to this season..
11th
11th (9) Dionysian (50/1 -79%)
Dionysian

50/1(-79%)
(9) Dionysian 50/1, Won 2 AW novices over 1m at Kempton at the end of 2022. Too free on 1m Newmarket handicap debut/reappearance and this drop to 7f could suit.
Dual AW winner but there wasn't much to take from his handicap debut at Newmarket..
12th
12th (7) Fully Wet (28/1 +0%)
Fully Wet

28/1(+0%)
(7) Fully Wet 28/1, 6f course maiden winner last May. Added to tally in Chelmsford novice in September and good second in 7f Newbury listed on final 2-y-o start. Never involved in the Fred Darling back at Newbury on her reappearance but her stable is in better form now. Handicap debut.
Useful juvenile; barely sighted in one of the Guineas trials but could yet do better..
13th
13th (3) Hectic (18/1 +10%)
Hectic

18/1(+10%)
(3) Hectic 18/1, Back on the up when close second on 7f Newbury reappearance and seemed stretched by 1m at Newmarket since. One of 3 runners for a stable no stranger to success in this. Respected with Alec Voikhansky taking a useful 5 lb off.
1m perhaps too far last time; has each-way claims on his previous second at Newbury..
LTO Selection:

14:05 Goodwood Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Not many can be confidently ruled out and the likes of Tafreej, who is unexposed at the trip, and Bresson, who drops back from Listed company, merit places high on the shortlist. However, it would be very dangerous to underestimate CLASSIC, who failed to give his running on testing ground in the Greenham at Newbury last month. His form as a juvenile is starting to work out well and he is looks worth a shot now back down in grade. Dark Thirty and Hectic, stablemates of the selection, enhance Richard Hannon's strong hand.

TAFREEJ wasn't seen to best effect on his Newbury reappearance and, from a handy inside draw, can show he's on a good mark at the second time of asking in handicaps. Yacowlef's form this spring looks very solid so he's second choice ahead of Hectic, who was a place ahead of the selection at Newbury and failed to stay 1m at Newmarket since.

There's a strong suspicion that TAFREEJ (nap) has something in hand off his current mark and, crucially over 7f here, he's drawn low.

Raced handily but still looked green before finishing runner-up at Newcastle..
LTO Selection:

14:35 Goodwood Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

An intriguing fillies' maiden in which preference lies with EXPONISTA. David Loughnane's daughter of Showcasing made a promising start to her racing career when running on for second over 5f at Newcastle earlier this month and there is likely more in her locker stepping up in trip. The fact she holds an entry for the valuable 2-Y-O Stakes at Doncaster in September indicates she is showing plenty of encouragement at home, but Indispensable and the unraced Hellfire Bay can give her plenty to think about for powerful connections.

INDISPENSABLE made a promising start when third in a Newmarket maiden 3 weeks ago and is preferred to La Guarida, who also made an encouraging debut in a novice at the Rowley Mile. Hellfire Bay looks the pick of the newcomers before market clues.

Who knows what lurks amongst the newcomers but it will take a smart performance to topple INDISPENSABLE.

May need his best form yet to defy this mark on his British debut and he lacks a run..
LTO Selection:

15:10 Goodwood Handicap (Class 2) 14f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

The Gosdens' unbeaten COURAGE MON AMI looked a smart prospect as a three-year-old last season and, although he has to overcome his inexperience now entering handicaps off a lofty rating, he could prove too classy for his opposition. Global Heat is no back number and arrives on the back of two creditable efforts in Group company at Meydan in March. The Godolphin-owned gelding is feared most, ahead of Nathanael Greene, who should appreciate this return to his last winning distance.

A useful handicap but it is very hard to side against the Gosden's highly promising Frankel gelding COURAGE MON AMI who went 2-2 last autumn and now resumes with the prospect of much better to come on his handicap debut. Nathanael Greene made an encouraging return when fifth at Ascot and seems sure to take a step forward with his stamina drawn out more. Traila and Aggagio are two more to consider in a most intriguing contest.

The intriguing horse is Courage Mon Ami but AGGAGIO has a great record here and he impressed over hurdles the last time.

LTO Selection:

15:45 Goodwood Stakes (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

There are plenty of well-bred newcomers here, although Magical Story and Royal Mila stand out on pedigree and represent top stables. They can both go well, along with Lowick, who could be the surprise package, but this may still fall to FLYING CIRCUS. Third at Doncaster last year and again at Newcastle on her return this season, she tries cheekpieces now and may put her experience to good use in this line-up.

MAGICAL STORY has an excellent pedigree and is with a top handler, so she's worth chancing to make a winning start at the possible expense of Royal Mila, another notable newcomer. Flying Circus is the clear pick of those with experience.

Narrow preference is for William Haggas's newcomer ROYAL MILA, a half-sister to the stable's Group 3 winner Bashkirova.

Rikona

40/1(-100%)
(6) Rikona 40/1, Scored at Lingfield in April and backed it up with a solid showing (despite being unsuited by the drop in trip) at Brighton earlier in the month. Not discounted for all that this looks more competitive.
Should be suited by the return to this trip, but vulnerable to something less exposed.
LTO Selection:

16:20 Goodwood Handicap (Class 3) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Raised 4lb having been narrowly denied at Brighton 25 days ago, Crystal Estrella merits the utmost respect despite top weight. Tamilla was progressing nicely last season and is interesting on her return to action, while Haseefah, who is on a fair mark, seeks to emulate last year's success. Preference, however, is for the Charlie Johnston-trained GOOD MORALS. She trounced her rivals at Doncaster a week ago, including Aiming High, and a subsequent 9lb rise might not stop her.

CRYSTAL ESTRELLA caught the eye with her finishing effort when second at Brighton last time and, with the longer trip likely to suit, she could well pick up her second course win. Haseefah also shaped well on return, so she's feared most ahead of Tamilla.

The 3yo GOOD MORALS is improving fast and can make light of a 9lb rise having easily won her last two races.

1st (4) Ferrous (3.5/1 -5%)
Ferrous

3.5/1(-5%)
(4) Ferrous 3.5/1, Built on debut effort when taking Doncaster maiden (6f, heavy) on final start as a 2-y-o. Caught the eye when midfield on handicap debut at Newmarket (6f) in April and whilst he could only run to a similar level when third back at that venue since, this return to 5f shouldn't inconvenience him.
Running well; hasn't raced over 5f since his debut but he looks quick enough..

2nd (3) Pure Angel (3.33/1 -21%)
Pure Angel

3.33/1(-21%)
(3) Pure Angel 3.33/1, Upwardly mobile filly who displayed race-by-race progress in maiden/novice company last year, readily seeing off 8-rivals at Wolverhampton (5.1f) in November. Fancied to do better again and opening mark of 84 could well underestimate her.
Nice progress last season; mark might not be too demanding provided the run isn't needed..

Harry Brown

6/1(-50%)
(1) Harry Brown 6/1, Went close on several occasions prior to getting off the mark in maiden at Chelmsford (5f) in September. Improved subsequently, landing back-to-back Lingfield handicaps (at 6f) earlier this year. Drops back to 5f in a warmer race but he shouldn't be underestimated.
Improving sprinter and dropping back to 5f is probably a good thing; still well treated..

Desperate Hero

11/1(+31%)
(9) Desperate Hero 11/1, Crucially settled better than previously when off the mark at fifth attempt at Chepstow (6f) in July. Not yet matched that in pair of handicaps so far this season though, and others make more appeal.
Has perhaps found the ground too soft this season but has a bit to prove on balance..

5th (5) Umming N' Ahing (2.5/1 +38%)
Umming N' Ahing

2.5/1(+38%)
(5) Umming N' Ahing 2.5/1, Different proposition on back of being gelded this spring, highlighting his effective on ground softer than good when completing the hat-trick over C&D 3 weeks ago. Encounters much quicker conditions now but he's clearly thriving at present.
Up 10lb for his hat-trick (all on softer ground) and life is about to get tougher..
6th
6th (7) Huberts Dream (25/1 -14%)
Huberts Dream

25/1(-14%)
(7) Huberts Dream 25/1, Much-improved for switch to nurseries on AW during the winter, completing quick-fire hat-trick at Lingfield (6f) in December. Creditable efforts from inflated mark thereafter and probably best not judged too harshly on his latest Chester display (poorly drawn/unproven on ground).
Soft was perhaps no help at Chester and the tongue-tie he tried there is swiftly removed..
7th
7th (2) Swift Asset (11/1 +45%)
Swift Asset

11/1(+45%)
(2) Swift Asset 11/1, Ran well in graded company after his Windsor maiden success last year but was below form on final 2 outings last term and fared no better when tenth in 14-runner Newmarket handicap (6f) on return in April.
Suspicion that he's on a tough mark was seemingly confirmed when well beaten at Newmarket..
8th
8th (6) Love Affairs (22/1 -22%)
Love Affairs

22/1(-22%)
(6) Love Affairs 22/1, Course winner (at 6f) who displayed fairly useful form as a 2-y-o for Clive Cox and easily best effort for present stable when fourth at Ascot (6f) 2 weeks ago, weakening late on. Now just 1 lb above last winning mark if she can back that up.
Best run yet for Amy Murphy was her latest at Ascot but it still wasn't near her peak form.
9th
9th (8) New Hope Bullet (28/1 -56%)
New Hope Bullet

28/1(-56%)
(8) New Hope Bullet 28/1, Successful 3 times as a 2-y-o, latterly when awarded race in stewards' room at Sandown (5f) in August. Final start at Newcastle (5f) in October probably best overlooked but she may just find a couple too good on return from 7 months off.
Capable off this mark but just a question of whether this run will be needed..
LTO Selection:

16:55 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

A determined winner over course and distance earlier in the month, UMMING N' AHING can do little wrong at present and a 4lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him from landing the four-timer. The form of Ferrous' most recent third at Newmarket has worked out extremely well and he looks to be the main danger, along with Harry Brown, who has been in terrific form on the all-weather.

PURE ANGEL built on her previous promise and created a fine impression when off the mark at Wolverhampton in November and with further progress anticipated now handicapping, she gets the nod to make light of a 6-month absence and come out on top again. Harry Brown and Ferrous head up the dangers, along with the thriving Umming N' Ahing.

Ferrous is feared despite being drawn on the wing but HARRY BROWN has a very progressive look about him.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
