4	5 4th (5) (1/3 +25%) Field Of Gold		0.333333 1/3(+25%)																															(5) Field Of Gold 1/3, Irish 2000 Guineas winner and unlucky not to win UK version; best run to date and 5l clear at the furlong pole when won St James's Palace Stakes (G1) at Ascot by 3 1/2l last time; brilliant miler, wants sound surface ideally; excellent turn of foot; impossible to oppose Impressive in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes; sets a tall standard.

15:05 Goodwood (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Rosallion shaped as if he'd come on plenty for his return run in the Lockinge at Newbury and did exactly that at Royal Ascot, running a blinder in defeat in the Queen Anne. Just a nose separated Richard Hannon's colt and Ascot specialist Docklands and it would come as no surprise if that form was reversed. However, they've all got FIELD OF GOLD to beat if he arrives in the same scintillating form as when bolting up in the St James's Palace Stakes. He was arguably the most impressive winner all week at Ascot and he had the reopposing French Guineas winner Henri Matisse three and a half lengths back in second.

Emerging star FIELD OF GOLD looks set to produce another stunning performance. Rosallion may well prove the closest pursuer.

15:45 Goodwood (Class 2) 9f Race Class Flow

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

A competitive handicap in which Andrew Balding's filly MUSIC PIECE could be worth chancing back over 10 furlongs. She struggled to land a telling blow off this mark over 1m4f at Ascot recently, but did shape well over C&D the time before in Listed company when beaten a neck into second. Roger Varian's unexposed all-weather scorer Model Yuko is another to take seriously and a big run from Ashariba would come as no surprise back on turf.

The 3yos, some seriously unexposed, have to be feared but preference is for two of the older contingent in AKECHETA and Ashariba.

16:20 Goodwood (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

ZELAINA made a strong impression when justifying favouritism on her introduction at Nottingham prior to her eighth in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot last month. The daughter of Mehmas should be suited by this test more than last time and sets the standard with an official rating of 92. Desert Jungle improved on her first outing to score in a first-time hood at Catterick last time and she has to be taken seriously. Of the remainder, Lebron Power makes the most appeal.

This could set up nicely for LUNA MIA, who is an interesting alternative to top-rated Zelaina.

16:55 Goodwood (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Crimson Spirit secured a hat-trick in good style at Epsom earlier in the month and is just 6lb higher, but this represents a step up in grade. With that in mind, DEFENCE MINISTER looks the way to go. Hamad Al Jehani's colt occupied the runner-up berth at this level at Sandown on his latest outing and the handicapper may have been kind to only put him up 1lb. With a similar performance, he could be the one to beat. Physique and Leadman are others to watch out for.

Having registered a very solid win at the Newmarket July festival, LEADMAN (nap) is preferred. Defence Minister is second pick.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
