Glorious Goodwood - Saturday

13:50, Highclere Castle Gin Summer Handicap

Sing Us A Song 5/1, 2pts each-way (4 places)

Ralph Beckett's 4 year old is now back at Goodwood, a course he has won at before and off the back of a good run at Royal Ascot where he was hampered late on. This race may pan out more favourably and Doyle keeps the faith.

15:00, Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes

Santorini Star 5/1, 2pts win

Not the biggest field for this Group 2 but a classy one. William Haggas's Santorini Star must concede weight all round but she's in fantastic form this year having won the Jockey Club at Newmarket and then finishing 2nd in a good race in France. A line can be put through her Royal Ascot run and she is more likely to appreciate this quick going than last year's winner.

15:35, Coral Stewards' Cup

Far Above Dream 6/1, 2pts each-way (6 places)

Everything points towards a huge run by James Owen's sprinter. The draw looks good in stall 23, the ground is ideal and he's a course winner. I'm still not sure the handicapper has caught up and after a cracking run in the Wokingham, this year old son of Far Above looks set for a huge run.
