Horses to Watch at Glorious Goodwood on Saturday

Horses to Watch at Glorious Goodwood on Saturday
 

1.50 Goodwood: Lion's Pride

  • Tipster: Page Fuller
  • Best odds: 9-2 (general)

Speed has been crucial at Goodwood this week, with track records being broken. Lion's Pride, having showcased impressive speed at Kempton in November, is well-suited for this mile-and-a-half race. With a top speed of 41.27mph and a fastest furlong of 10.97 seconds, he stands out among the competitors. Despite recent defeats at shorter distances, returning to 1m4f should benefit him.

2.25 Goodwood: Knightswood

  • Tipster: Katie Midwinter
  • Best odds: 12-1 (general)

Knightswood attempts the 1m6f trip for only the second time. He showed promise over 1m4f earlier this season and finished strongly at Newmarket. Dropped 1lb for this run, he faces a tough challenge but holds strong each-way claims in this competitive staying contest.

3.00 Goodwood: Caius Chorister

  • Tipster: Jack Nicol
  • Best odds: 4-1 (Coral)

Connections avoided the Group One Goodwood Cup to run Caius Chorister here, a wise decision given her strong form over her last six starts. Despite a disappointing run in the Gold Cup, she returns to her optimal distance. If the ground remains fast, she is a strong contender to finish in the frame.

3.35 Goodwood: Dare To Hope

  • Tipster: Dave Nevison
  • Best odds: 40-1 (general)

Dare To Hope showed promise at York last weekend, finishing fourth in a strong 0-95 handicap. Known for performing well in strong handicaps, he suits the fast pace of the Coral Stewards' Cup. With Hong Kong jockey Vincent Ho, who has performed well this week, Dare To Hope is a valuable pick at 40-1.

5.20 Goodwood: Native Warrior

  • Tipster: Harry Allwood
  • Best odds: 2-1 (William Hill)

Native Warrior was unlucky not to win the Britannia Stakes, finishing a strong third. He performed well despite a challenging run and a 3lb rise since is fair. With a favourable draw, good to firm ground, and a drop in grade, he looks set to perform well. His form suggests he is better than his current mark of 93.
