Tuesday racecards| Big-race tips| Watch In The Know
1.50 Goodwood: Coral Chesterfield Cup Handicap, 1m2f
Richard Hannon, trainer of Etonian:
"He ran a good race at Ascot and is in great nick. He wants this trip now and will run well."
Forecast SP: 11-1
2.25 Goodwood: Japan Racing Association Vintage Stakes, 7f
Karl Burke, trainer of Holloway Boy:
"He should improve for his debut, he's a few kilos lighter and has stripped a little fitter, although he didn't blow much at Ascot. All of ours improve whatever they do first time and we're very happy with him. Whether he handles the track is a bit of an unknown, but I don't see why he wouldn't as he's well balanced and travels nicely. He's favourite and rightly so."
Forecast SP: 2-1f
3.00 Goodwood: World Pool Lennox Stakes, 7f
Charlie Hills, trainer of Pogo:
"It's been the aim to come here. It's quite a big field, but he's got a nice draw and we'll take our chance as seven furlongs is his ideal trip."
Forecast SP: 4-1
3.35 Goodwood: Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup, 2m
Alan King, trainer of Trueshan:
"Hollie Doyle and Tom Marquand have all ridden him on quickish ground and said don't run him on anything quicker than that. Whether he's going to be as good on good ground, I don't know, but I'm happy to try."
Forecast SP: 4-1
5.10 Galway: Colm Quinn BMW Novice Hurdle, 2m½f
Gordon Elliott, trainer of Amir Kabir:
"I think he's a nice young horse. He jumps well and he seems to enjoy what he's doing. I thought he won nicely at Roscommon and I'd say there is more to come from him."
Forecast SP: 4-1
6.40 Galway: Colm Quinn BMW Mile Handicap, 1m½f
Ado McGuinness, trainer of Bowerman:
"Bowerman looks to have gone off the boil a little, but you never know what might happen when they go down in the weights as he has. Form is temporary and class is permanent."
Forecast SP: 33-1
