Goodwood Day 1 Tips
One of British racing's most popular meetings begins on Tuesday, as a capacity crowd gathers for the opening day of Glorious Goodwood. The Goodwood Cup headlines the action on day one, with the Vintage and Lennox Stakes leading up to the main event.
Here are my best betting tips for day one of Glorious Goodwood.
ITV Racing Tips - Tuesday 29th July
1:20pm Goodwood - Chesterfield Cup Handicap Tips
DEFIANCE (11/2) has landed what could turn out to be a kind draw out in stall 17, and Roger Varian's four-year-old warrants his position near the head of the market.
Defiance was highly-tried during the first half of his three-year-old campaign, finishing a close second to Bellum Justum in the Blue Ribband Trial at Epsom, before disappointing showings at Epsom and Royal Ascot. Silvestre De Sousa held his mount up out the back as he made his return from a year-long lay-off on Epsom Derby day, where Defiance kept on well to finish fourth behind impressive winner, Ecureuil Secret.
Varian's four-year-old is entitled to have improved plenty for that return to action and Defiance remains on the same mark. He's got a strong chance in what looks to be a very winnable race.
1:55pm Goodwood - Vintage Stakes Tips
With Joseph O'Brien's horses currently in fantastic form, I'm going to roll the dice again with ANDAB (8/1). I backed O'Brien's raider in both the Marble Hill Stakes and the Coventry and, while he was beaten on both occasions, Andab's performances can be commended.
O'Brien's star met with a setback following his impressive debut win, and still wasn't beaten far behind Albert Einstein at the Curragh. Andab was then heavily backed going into the Coventry, but was given far too much work to do by Dylan Browne McMonagle and could only stay on to finish fourth.
This full sibling to former Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Victoria Road is bred to be much more effective over seven furlongs and a mile. 8/1 is a solid each-way price.
2:30pm Goodwood - Lennox Stakes Tips
Three-year-olds have a fairly poor record in the Lennox Stakes, so I'm going to take Jonquil on with LAKE FOREST (7/1), who is yet to recreate his Australian form since returning to Europe.
William Haggas' star claimed a hugely lucrative victory in the Golden Eagle on his Australian debut in November, beating future Royal Ascot winner Lazzat by half-a-length. Since then, Lake Forest has been well-beaten in French Group Three, placed fifth in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot, and suffered a six-length defeat when dropped back to Group Three company in the Criterion Stakes.
Tom Marquand's mount barely made any progress from the rear that day as Quinault made all to win. However, I fancy the track at Goodwood will suit Lake Forest better than Ascot or York did, and a more positive ride behind what's sure to be a rapid pace could see Haggas' four-year-old return to top form.

3:45pm Goodwood - Shaker Handicap Tips
A typically competitive handicap sprint, where I fancy the chances of JAKAJARO (10/1). Robert Cowell's recruit reached a rating of 105 for David Marnane in Ireland, but took his chance at Ascot earlier this month off a rating of 96, following defeats at Meydan, Windsor and Newcastle.
Jamie Spencer utilised his typical waiting tactics on the straight track at Ascot, and Jakajaro was flying home with a wet sail, but ran into a wall of runners ahead of him and was eased thereafter. Cowell's charge would sure have won, or gone very close had his path to the post not been blocked, and the handicapper has opted not to increase his rating following that sixth-place finish.
