Matt Chapman’s Saturday ITV Racing Ideas
Goodwood 13.50 – Phantom Flight
Newmarket 14.05 – Ghost Run (each-way)
Goodwood 14.25 – True Legend (each-way)
Newmarket 14.40 – Divina Grace (each-way)
Goodwood 15.00 – Caius Chorister
Goodwood 15.35 – Billyjoh (each-way)
For the ultimate time in 2024 ITV Racing is at Wonderful Goodwood for Day 5 and the motion kicks off right here for the Group 3 Wonderful Stakes over 1m4f. Removed from prone to be a robust gallop right here and an enormous likelihood for PHANTOM FLIGHT to indicate his Newbury victory at 16-1 was no fluke. That was final time when he beat re-opposing Al Aasy by a size and plenty of will fancy the latter to reverse the shape. However the way in which this race will probably be run I believe Phantom Flight can get first run once more underneath Callum Shepherd for George Scott.
ITV additionally go to Newmarket for a pair Saturday and present this handicap for juveniles over 6f. That is extensive open. GHOST RUN stored on very well to attain at Newbury final time and goes handicapping off a mark of 81. It’s laborious to know whether or not that’s or dangerous mark, however she’s open to enchancment and stays this journey properly whereas a few of these is likely to be higher at 5f. I’ll have a number of quid each-way.
Right here’s a handicap over 1m6f. Onerous to see how Align the Stars can line-up right here as he was taken out for a floor change on Thursday and this will probably be comparable. I like TRUE LEGEND each-way for Sir Mark Prescott and Luke Morris. My hope has been constant with out successful of late however he stays very properly and ran a cracker at Newcastle two runs in the past when fifth within the Plate behind Onesmoothoperator. True Legend has Goodwood type and will probably be very laborious to kick out the body.
A Listed race for fillies and mares over 1m4f. DIVINA GRACE has a number of kilos to seek out with a few of these however Rae Visitor has a knack with fillies and he may simply get a good effort right here. Billy Loughnane’s mount was a nice fifth on this grade final time and stored on properly. What she brings to the desk is consistency, stamina and the bottom is not any drawback. One other each-way poke.
Up in school now for the Group 2 Lillie Langtry which is for fillies and mares over 1m6f. This needs to be excellent for CAIUS CHORISTER who will get a brand new jockey in Harry Bentley for David Menuisier. I by no means fancied her to remain the Ascot Gold Cup journey and she or he didn’t, however the mare is a wonderful horse and her seconds at Ascot and Sandown this time period have been particularly reasonable performances. It’s straightforward to argue that is her excellent journey and she or he simply wants some tempo to run at up entrance.
The large betting race of the day within the Stewards’ Cup over 6f. BILLYJOH goes to wish some luck and has a second run within the week however he’s on a mark that he can win this off 95. Mick Appleby’s challenger was a nice second to Blue Prince right here on Wednesday and he may properly have gained that occasion with a transparent run. It’s debatable whether or not dropping again to 6f is an efficient or dangerous factor, however he’s certain to ending off strongly and hopefully there will probably be a loopy gallop. Rossa Ryan takes the journey on a giant each-way horse.
So better of luck and pray for Yeeehaaas. You hear me Paddy?
