Day 1 Goodwood Tips - Goodwood Cup 3:35

The stayers are in the spotlight on day 1 as the Goodwood Cup, run over two miles, is the feature race of the day.

Star stayer Kyprios is current odds-on favourite for trainer Aidan O'Brien following his excellent Ascot Gold Cup victory.

There is however some tough opposition to fend off with Coltrane, Sweet William and Gregory, prominent in the betting. Kyprios had these three well held at Ascot.

Trueshan is also declared to run but would appreciate more give in the ground.

Day 2 Goodwood Tips - Sussex Stakes 3:35 Goodwood

The Sussex Stakes is more affectionately known as ‘the duel on the downs’ thanks to the exciting clashes between some of racing’s greatest on the Sussex downs through the years.

Irish 2000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes winner Rosallion has been ruled out of the contest due to a respiratory infection which has dramatically changed the shape of the race.

Aidan O'Brien has always had faith in his talented three-year-old, Henry Longfellow, who is now favourite for the contest and finished 2nd at Royal Ascot in the St James's Palace Stakes.

English 2000 Guineas winner Notable Speech is also prominent in the betting and is looking to bounce back from a disappointing 7th in the St James's Palace Stakes.

Sonny Listen represents Ralph Beckett, while French raider Facteur Cheval and William Haggas's Maljoom complete the field.

Day 3 Goodwood Tips - Nassau Stakes 3:35 Goodwood

Opera Singer is current favourite to land the Group 1 feature on Thursday. Aidan O'Brien's filly was scintillating when winning the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac as a two-year-old. She was then 3rd in the Irish Guineas followed by a good 2nd in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Emily Upjohn and Inspiral are tough opposition and on their day can be sensational. An interesting contender is French Oaks winner Sparkling Plenty at 10-1 and Ralph Beckett's Royal Ascot winner, Doha, who looks progressive.

Day 4 Goodwood Tips - King George Qatar Stakes 3:35 Goodwood

Australian raider Asfoora was a ready winner of the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot and heads the market for this Group 2 contest on Friday.

Big Evs is fancied to reverse the form with Asfoora for Mick Appleby as the star sprinter arguably went off too fast at Royal Ascot. Believing and Starlust also bring plenty of quality to this field in what looks an open race.

Day 5 Goodwood Tips - Stewards’ Cup 3:35 Goodwood

Stephen Harris

Appollo One, Stewards’ Cup handicap 6f, 3:35 Goodwood, Saturday

    Peter Charalambous’s battle-hardened sprinter was sunk in soft ground at Sandown last time out when disappointing, but had run two crackers in strong handicaps before that blip and can bounce back to his best here on a much faster surface. His brute early pace is always a big asset at these sharp tracks, and he can blitz a big field from the front under regular rider Richard Kingscote.

Coral Stewards' Cup (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2 ) of £250,000.00 3-y-o plus
