Race Favourite

CAPE CAVALI is a narrow favourite at the head of the market for this Goodwood handicap from 4/1* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 20:59 GMT on Tuesday, 7th April 2020).

After opening with a runner up spot on his return to action, he went better last time out.

He scored a York success just under three weeks ago with plenty to spare as well. For this fixture he claims 3lb for jockey Cieren Fallon which should offset some of the rise that he has taken on.

Cape Cavali is likely to be well supported to score that double.

Glorious Goodwood Racing Odds Tips

DEREVO is another with strong claims for this particular contest as he looks to push on from his Doncaster return to action last month.

He was third in that contest and stays at the same mark with Ryan Moore taking the ride. Derevo was in form last season and has every chance of getting to the winner’s circle.

MAYDANNY may be worth revisiting for a bit of value from 15/2* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 20:59 GMT on Tuesday, 7th April 2020).

He scored at Yarmouth on his return to action and went well at Royal Ascot in the Silver Royal Hunt Cup Handicap to get 7th of 22. He was a little bit short on his last effort at Newmarket, but can still be a player.

Race Favourite

Heading up the market for this juvenile’s contest is BATTLEGROUND at 11/8* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 20:59 GMT on Tuesday, 7th April 2020).

He will definitely be ticking some boxes for some punters.

That is because he took the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot over the distance just last month. There was plenty of improvement on show from him in that one and is likely to go even better.

Ryan Moore is in the saddle as well and could be the standard bearer for this contest. He’s a very well bred horse and has a superb future.

Racing Odds Tips

DEVIOUS COMPANY looks to be the closest challenger to the favourite in this race.

He will take plenty of backing from 7/2 to take down the market leader no doubt. Devious Company won his first two racetrack appearances.

On his third he was in action at the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket on the 7f trip. He ran very well there to take second place.

Based on that, he should be a big player in this race. Devious Company is wide open for greater improvement and goes as our tip for this contest.

The other that we will pick out for this contest is GORYTUS as an 18/1 each way option* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 20:59 GMT on Tuesday, 7th April 2020).

He put in a blinder of a run on his debut, scoring in a minor event at York over 7f. That was a good, bright effort and could up it here.

Race Favourite

SPACE BLUES is the current 9/4 favourite for this fixture* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 20:59 GMT on Tuesday, 7th April 2020).

He is sitting on a hattrick as he comes back into action after a month away, so the claims are rightly there.

He came on leaps and bounds last year and now seems to be pushing on at an ever greater rate. His last run saw him claim the win at the Prix de la Porte at Longchamp, beating out D’bai in that fixture.

Space Blues rightly has some big claims here especially as D’bai went on to win a subsequent race at Haydock.

Glorious Goodwood Racing Odds Tips

There are plenty to consider in this big field. SAFE VOYAGE is always a reliable runner and he claimed a win on his last effort as well.

He produced a very good finish to claim the 7f success at Epsom in a listed race. Safe Voyage is another that looks to have made some big strides this year.

Last year’s winner SIR DANCEALOT is back for another bite of the cherry, which would see him actually win it for the third straight year.

That course and distance success will give him some appeal for punters in the market. He will likely be happier back at this trip than not having enough in Newmarket’s July Cup.

DUKE OF HAZZARD finished last season with a bang, landing a hat-trick. After an below par effort on his return to action, he bounced back into form well in taking a third place finish in the Summer Mile at Ascot just over a couple of weeks ago.

There has to be big claims from him here and is a course and distance winner. Duke Of Hazzard is unbeaten in three Goodwood runs.

Race Favourite

STRADIVARIUS is the 4/7 favourite for the Goodwood Cup Stakes and may be hard to knock off his perch* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 20:59 GMT on Tuesday, 7th April 2020).

He won the contest last year from a 4/5 SP with Frankie Dettori who stays in the staddle.

Stradivarius has won the last three renewals of the Goodwood Cup Stakes and is hot to score again.

He will be taking on some new opposition in this one, but with the champion stayer having pulled away to claim the Ascot Gold Cup last month by 10 lengths over Nayef Road, it’s hard to see him getting toppled.

Goodwood Racing Odds Tips

SANTIAGO is in great shape here and has Ryan Moore booked for the job. He has won both races on return to action, one of them the Queen’s Vase at Royal Ascot.

Then eight days after that he went to the Irish Derby and claimed the win there.

He is a great prospect without a shadow of a doubt, but still looks as if he is going to have to find something really special to get past the incredible Stradivarius.

Because of his run at the Ascot Gold Cup, albeit 10 lengths back of Stradivarius in second place, NAYEF ROAD should have some place claims.

Before that run at Royal Ascot he had returned to action with a nice score at Newcastle on his first step up to the 2m trip.

Race Details

Race Type: Qatar Handicap Class 2
Age: 4 year olds plus
Declared Runners: 11
Distance: 5f

Race Favourite

The race favourite for the Qatar Handicap is CELSIUS at 7/2* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 20:59 GMT on Tuesday, 7th April 2020). He came on well last season and he is also a previous course and distance winner.

He scored on his return to action this year as well, landing a victory at Haydock.

His last run saw Celsius take second place at Newmarket so his form is more than fair at the moment at the 5f distance. Celsius should be in the picture in this race.

Glorious Goodwood Racing Odds Tips

RECON MISSION is likely to throw down a big challenge here. He’s a bold runner and likes to get away quickly and as this is downhill, he could stay on.

Last summer at this same mark she scored a valuable contest at York. He merits enough respect coming back down to 5f after a third place at Newbury recently.

Another who is carrying form that needs consideration in this field is ACCLAIM THE NATION. He landed a runner up spot behind Celsius at Haydock on his second race back in action. T

hen at York recently he was in fine shape again, taking another runners up finish. He could be a player, and easily has some place claims.

A finish well down the pack at Doncaster on his last run is nothing to get too concerned about for COUNT D’ORSAY who had struggled in the Silver Wokingham at Royal Ascot before that.

He won three times last summer and a third at Newmarket on his return to action from 3lb higher, should see him contend.
