First race starts at 6:20 - Hamburger Union Handicap , for Amateur Riders, (Cl6)
Race Overview: The Gaikwar won well three days ago and if in the same frame of mind he can score again at the main expense of Murumbidgee and The Grey One. Having won over course and distance before, the selection goes well on the ground and was very impressive just three days ago at Chepstow. He travelled well and then quickened clear to win in good fashion and if on song once again he may take some stopping. Dispol Veleta should come on for a decent fourth three weeks ago and should be considered along with the consistent Foolish Charm. Charlie Bear will need to forget his poor last run if he is to trouble the judge today, so of more interest may be Murumbidgee. He has found just one too good on his last two starts and despite creeping up the weights, he looks a real threat. The Grey One has ability but doesn't always put it all in, and so for the winner we are happy to return to The Gaikwar.

6:50 Soil Association European Breeders' Fund Maiden Stakes (Cl5)
Race Overview: As is so often the case the market will help guide to the chances of the newcomers, however Nawaaff made a pleasing debut at York in a better race than this and can win today at the main expense of Barbarossa and Bobs Surprise. The selection was only beaten just over a length on debut and with ground conditions similar today, he looks worth siding with. The time of that race was decent and with nominal improvement (was green on debut), he should take plenty of beating. Richard Hannon's pair Barbarossa and Mymumsaysimthebest are of interest on their debuts, the former looks the pick on jockey bookings. Vigano should come on for his debut run but will need to to play a part here, whilst Amanda Perrett's horses are in good form so Lisselan Prospect must be considered, although the stable aren't renowned for first time out winners. Captain Esteem and Bobs Surprise represent the in-form Barry Hills and the market will help guide their chances but both are bred to be effective over this trip at two. Nawaaff though has solid form and gets the confident selection.

7:20 Hildon Stakes, Registered As The Tapster Stakes, Listed Race (Cl1)
Race Overview: This Listed contest can go to Day Flight ahead of Group Captain and Steppe Dancer. John Gosden has his stable in good form at present and his horse handles all types of ground which may benefit if the rain comes. He stays this trip well and having won half of his 14 races so far, he can add to that tally here on a course he has run well at before. He was turned over at long odds-on last time but this should be a truer run race and he will benefit from a true pace. Shahin is unexposed however he has twenty pounds to find with some of these. Steppe Dancer is consistent and must go on the shortlist. As a hold up horse he will be more at home on this track than at Chester last time out. Into The Dark should be all the better for his recent outing when well beaten and the stables horses will hit top gear soon. Alfie Flits is a galloper and will appreciate the return to this trip, whilst Group Captain is very consistent and wasn't far behind the selection last time out. He will love any further rain and must be considered, however Day Flight is the class act and can get his head back in front.

7:50 Organic Research Centre Stakes, Handicap (Cl5)

8:20 Ecologist Stakes, Handicap, (Cl4)
Race Overview: Shout wasn't beaten far just ten days ago and can make amends today with victory. Fort Churchill is now back to near a winning mark so makes the shortlist along with Lisathedaddy. The selection can be hit and miss at times but John Hills' filly ran well in defeat last time out and a repeat of that effort may be enough today. She stays further than this so will relish a truly run race and can win today. Fort Churchill hasn't been disgraced in better races than this one of late and is now only 1lb above his highest winning mark. He won't mind any further rain either. Lisathedaddy is a consistent mare and Brendan Powell's runner cannot be ruled out, although she does continue to edge up the weights. Punta Galera is well-weighted on old form and should be monitored for signs of confidence in the betting. Jamaahir should have come on for his recent run at Newbury so bears consideration, whilst Cape Greko is well by the selection on that run ten days ago. A tricky race for punters, however Shout can land the spoils.

Last race is at 8:55 - Goodwood Farm Shop Maiden Fillies' Stakes (Cl5)
