Hi all,
Goodwood
2:25 – Threat – 15/8 @ Ladbrokes & Coral – Was runner-up to Arizona in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, with Guildsman back in third, last month. Unlike Guildsman he didn’t go to the Newmarket July Festival. He’s the one they all must beat.
3:00 –Spanish Mission – 5/1 @ Paddy Power – The selection impressed when winning a Group 3 at Newmarket 21-days ago, prior to that had finished runner-up here so the track shouldn’t pose any problems for the colt. His sire Noble Mission won this race in 2012. Relished the quick ground at Newmarket and probably wouldn’t want the ground to ease before post time.

7:45 – Bug Boy – 8/1 @ Bet365 – A maiden after 11 starts. The 3-year-old has been knocking on the day on his last two starts in 1m 2f handicaps. Put in what looked a career best when 2nd of 6 at Chepstow 14-days ago. Despite being slowly away and not getting the clearest of runs in straight. Only beaten a length if the cards had fallen kindlier, he could well have broke his maiden tag last time. Up just 1lb he must have a decent chance of going one better here.
Cheers
John
