  • Distance: 1m4f

  • Going: Good To Firm

The opening race of ITV’s coverage of Saturday’s racing – the British Stallion Studs EBF Chalice Stakes (13:33) is sure to be an exciting way to start the day.

Charlie Appleby’s Romantic Symphony (2/1) may be the favourite in this one, but it’s Ralph Beckett’s Gone By (10/1) that we’ve identified as an underpriced contender. 

She’s finished in the top two in each of the last four races – most recently winning at Salisbury over 1m4f. Her recent form is listed in the table below:

Ed Walker’s Jeddaal (6/1) is the early favourite in the only televised race from Thirsk this Saturday – the William Hill Summer Cup Handicap, but it’s Richard Hannon’s St Anton (10/1) that’s drawn our attention. 

The bay colt has an impressive record over 1m, most recently winning in Newmarket just three weeks prior, again with an SP of 10/1. His most recent runnings can be seen in the table below:

  • Distance: 1m6f

  • Runners: 10 (MAX 14)

  • Age: 3yo+

  • Going: Good To Firm

Over to Goodwood now for the third race of the day in the Qatar Goodwood Festival – the Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes. 

Owen Burrows has the favourite in this one with Waardah (11/4). Our pick, however, comes from Sir Mark Prescott’s stable – Consent (5/1). The 4-year-old Chestnut Filly may have performed poorly last time out, finishing dead last among 9 runners, but she’s proven a fierce competitor in her races prior. 

First-place finishes at both Longchamp and Newbury, paired with two second-place finishes at Doncaster and Deauville, should instil confidence. At 5/1, she’s underpriced and the perfect candidate for an EW bet. Her most recent results are listed in the table below:

15:35 – Coral Stewards' Cup (Goodwood) – Dubai Bling 

  • Distance: 6f

  • Runners: 28 (MAX 28)

  • Age: 3yo+

  • Going: Good To Firm

Next up, we’re sticking at Goodwood for the Coral Stewards' Cup – a race with no overbearing favourite. James Owen’s Far Above Dream has the shortest odds at (7/1), meaning it’s a much more open field than other races today. 

Hugo Palmer’s Dubai Bling (12/1) is our pick in this one – a 4-year-old Bay Gelding owned by Hussey Owen Wholey. 

His race history is good, placing first last time out at Ascot at odds of 12/1. He’s entered into the Coral Stewards' Cup at the same early price – making him a great pick for an EW bet, especially if jockey William Buick can make history repeat itself. Dubai Bling’s recent race history is shown in the table below.

16:10 – Phase Eight Handicap (Goodwood) – Startled

  • Distance: 7f

  • Runners: 13 (MAX 20)

  • Age: 3yo+

  • Going: Good To Firm

Our last prediction of the day is once again at Goodwood – this time for the Phase Eight Handicap. 

We’re not interested in the favourite (We're Goosers (4/1)) – we’re actually heading down to Richard Hughes’ Startled (10/1), a 3-year-old Bay Gelding that’s showing plenty of promise over 7f. 

What’s most interesting for me in his recent races is his outing at Goodwood in May of this year – he finished second out of 17 runners, losing out only to Charlie Appleby’s Catullus, the favourite in that race. 

A couple of victories at York and Newmarket (in May and April this year) confirm his winning potential. The question is whether jockey Harry Vigors can get the most out of him on the day. Startled’s recent race history can be seen in the table below:
