14:35 Goodwood – Ardisia
Ardisia is a course and distance winner, which is always a positive at a course as unique as Goodwood, and we have Oisin Murphy booked, which is another positive. We have tried this horse a few times on firm ground this summer, and I think that has shown that at the level he has got to, he has got to get his toe in to be seen to best effect.
He will get that easier ground here, he seems very well and he’s been training nicely, so hopefully he can go well here.
15:25 Yarmouth – Triple Double A
Triple Double A is a course winner, and he’s won over this ten furlongs trip before. He needed the run at Haydock last time, as that came after a wind-op. He’s been training nicely since then and I’m very happy with how he looks, so hopefully he can go well.
16:55 Goodwood – Brigid’s Well
Brigid’s Well made her debut at Goodwood last summer, she didn’t run badly that day and she will appreciate the cut in the ground here. I just felt she would appreciate a slightly stiffer test of stamina than she got at Hamilton last time, so we’ve stepped her up a furlong and put the cheekpieces on her, which will hopefully help her maintain her concentration. If so, she could run very well.
