Nostrum

Qatar Sussex Stakes (3.35 Goodwood, August 2)

Previous odds: 12-1
New odds: 5-1

Paddington remains the odds-on favourite to bring up the sixth win of a magnificent season in the Sussex Stakes, but Listed success for Nostrum on his return from a long absence saw his price shorten for the Group 1 contest.

The Juddmonte runner had not been seen since finishing third in the Dewhurst in October behind subsequent 2,000 Guineas winner Chaldean, but shrugged off that absence with a powerful display in the Sir Henry Cecil Stakes, readily accounting for the previously unbeaten Embesto.

Victory at Newmarket saw his odds plummet for the Sussex and while trainer Sir Michael Stoute was coy on the next steps for the Kingman colt, a step back up to Group 1 company seems inevitable. His odds of 5-1 with William Hill are a standout, with no other firm going bigger than 9-2.

Nashwa

Qatar Nassau Stakes (3.35 Goodwood, August 3)

Previous odds: 12-1
New odds: 5-2

The most significant performance last week came at Newmarket on Friday, where Nashwa put a pair of odds-on defeats behind her with a stylish five-length success when dropped back to a mile in the Group 1 Falmouth Stakes.

That performance produced a career-best Racing Post Rating of 122 and Nashwa reportedly heads to Glorious Goodwood next, where she will bid to win the Nassau Stakes again.

Nashwa's Falmouth success saw her odds collapse for the 1m2f Group 1, with William Hill going 5-2 (from 12-1). Star French filly Blue Rose Cen remains the Nassau favourite at a general 6-4.

Blue For You

Coral Golden Mile (3.00 Goodwood, August 4)

Previous odds: 33-1
New odds: 16-1

David O’Meara sent out the first and second in last year’s Coral Golden Mile with 20-1 shot Orbaan leading home his stablemate Blue For You, and the latter prepped for this year’s running of the prestigious handicap with an impressive victory at York on Saturday.

Blue For You was backed into 7-2 before the off and justified the market support with a comfortable three-length success under Danny Tudhope.

On the back of that performance, Sky Bet went 16-1 (from 33) for the Golden Mile.

Badri

Coral Stewards’ Cup (3.35 Goodwood, August 5)

Previous odds: 25-1
New odds: 16-1

The Big Board claimed the opening 5f handicap at Ascot on Saturday, but it was the performance of runner-up Badri that caught the eye with a view to next month’s Stewards’ Cup.

Positioned towards the far side of the field under Billy Loughnane, Badri kept on well for pressure and should appreciate stepping back up to 6f at Glorious Goodwood.

Bet365 cut the Ruth Carr-trained six-year-old to 16-1 (from 25) while William Hill were the most impressed by the performance, cutting Badri to 12-1 (from 16).
