2025 Stewards' Cup Tip 1 - Circe
CIRCE (11/1) has been thriving of late, and I fancy Ryan Moore's mount will enjoy the hustle and bustle of the Stewards' Cup.
Richard Hannon's filly was tried over six furlongs for the first time on turf at Newmarket in May. Circe got the job done against her own sex that day, and followed up with another narrow sprint victory at Windsor later in the month.
Following a luckless fifth at Epsom in June, Circe bounced back to winning ways on the July course in June. Pat Dobbs' mount was backed into favouritism before the off and travelled like the best horse throughout, kicking clear in the final furlong to record a career-best triumph.
Hannon has had his filly laid out for Glorious Goodwood ever since and must have asked Ryan Moore fairly early to secure his services. Being drawn down in stall 23 should be ideal and Circe has won over seven furlongs on soft ground before. She remains ahead of the handicapper.
2025 Stewards' Cup Tip 2 - Jungle Drums
For my second selection, I'm going to roll the dice with JUNGLE DRUMS (33/1). Jamie Osbourne's three-year-old was a shock winner of the Rockingham Stakes at York last October, where he made all on soft ground to win by almost two lengths.
Since then, Jungle Drums has faded from the front in two sprints at Meydan and returned to Britain with a limp effort at Southwell two weeks ago. Osbourne took his sprinter out of a handicap at York last weekend on account of the drying ground.
Hopefully, there's enough juice in the Goodwood going come Saturday afternoon. Osbourne's horses have been in good form of late and a record of three wins from five juvenile starts shows that this mud-loving front-runner knows where the winning post is.
