All eyes will be on the first day of the Glorious Goodwood festival and our man Garry Owen has picked out his selections for the big meeting and we will be running a LIVE blog every day from the Sussex course.
LUSAIL (3.00) can cruise to victory in the World Pool Lennox Stakes on Day One of Glorious Goodwood. Richard Hannon’s horse oozed class when bolting up from Gis A Subin last year’s Gimcrack at York. A flop at Doncaster, the three-year-old returned with a fine second to Perfect Power at Newbury. The son of Mehmas then defied a slow start to finish a fair sixth in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. He put in an even better shift when chinned by the classy Coroebus in the St James's Palace at Ascot.The colt ran another stormer in a Group 1 when third to Tebebrism in the Prix Jean Prat at Chantilly. There is plenty more to come from this pacey type who can enjoy a well-deserved win down in class.
Andrew Balding’s BELL ROCK (1.50) can sink his rivals in the competitive Chesterfield Cup. The six-year-old stayed on track with a respectable third to Modern News in a Group 3 at Windsor. He built on that effort when filling the same spot behind Valiant Prince in Listed company at York. The gelding has been staying-on nicely over a mile so he can take this valuable handicap up in trip.
