1.50 Goodwood

Seinesational

He was only just touched off in this race two years ago, though he didn’t fare that well last season. But we know he goes well here – he is also a course winner – he stays, he is ground-versatile and he is fit from a recent spell hurdling. You couldn’t say he is well handicapped but he has a lot in his favour, and the visor back on could be a good move, too.

3.00 Goodwood

Orbaan

He was clearly disappointing when last at Sandown last time but he has at least inched down the handicap as a result and he is 2lb lower than when fifth in the Lincoln back in March. And he is back on the same mark as his last victory too, so he is weighted to figure. And if the ground dried out that would be a plus.

3.35 Goodwood

Arecibo

Battaash, Glass Slippers and Dragon Symbol are the three to beat but Arecibo clearly comes here in top nick too, following up his King’s Stand second when just picked up at Sandown last time. He can handle any ground and he just wants a strong gallop to aim at; if he gets that then he has each way chances again.

5.20 Goodwood

Bill Peyto

He was due to run at Newmarket last weekend but we took him out as the ground was too quick, so hopefully there is still ease in the ground come Friday afternoon. Other than that, everything I said last week stands, though this race is over 1m3f and not 1m2f. I rode him when he won a decent novice at Kempton last year and he shaped equally well when second under a penalty at Chester on his return. The distaff side of his pedigree suggests he will relish the step up in trip – though he is going up 3f in trip here now – and I’d like to think a mark of 83 underestimates him anyway. He has a good shot at making his presence felt here.
