2025 Goodwood Cup Entries
Illinois was no match for Trawlerman when stepping beyond two miles for the first time at Royal Ascot. Aidan O'Brien's star should be much happier over this shorter trip at Glorious Goodwood and Ryan Moore's mount dominates the market for Tuesday's feature.
John and Thady Gosden could be represented by French Master, who cruised to victory in the Copper Horse Handicap on the opening day of the Royal meeting. The Gosden's have also entered Sweet William - second to Kyprios in this race 12 months ago - and lightly-raced four-year-old Military Academy, who was last seen finishing a neck behind Hamish in the Tapster Stakes here at Goodwood.
With Jan Brueghel set to take part in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, Aidan O'Brien's second-string could be emphatic Bahrain Trophy winner, Scandinavia. Joseph O'Brien has handed an entry to runaway Curragh Cup winner Al Riffa, with David Menuisier's Sunway also in-line for his first start over two miles.
2021 Goodwood Cup winner, Trueshan could make his fourth appearance on the opening day of Glorious Goodwood. Other potential runners include Ascot Gold Cup third Dubai Future, Yorkshire Cup runner-up Epic Poet, and Queen's Vase second Further for Andrew Balding.
