13:35 (Goodwood) Mount Olympus
Mount Olympus has clearly been rejuvenated by a switch to Alan King’s yard and can continue his profitable campaign in the William Hill Keep Your Raceday Positive Handicap at Goodwood.
The five-year-old made it two wins from three outings this year for the Barbury Castle handler when scoring nicely at Leicester in July, having previously been trained by Eve Johnson Houghton.
Mount Olympus readily accounted for subsequent Carlisle scorer Owens Lad on his most recent outing and despite a 7lb rise in the weights, he looks worth keeping on side.
14:10 (Goodwood) Honest Desire
Charlie Appleby’s Honest Desire will attract plenty of interest on his racecourse debut in the British EBF 40th Anniversary Peter Willett Future Stayers’ Maiden Stakes over a mile.
The son of Frankel cost Godolphin 150,000 guineas and is a half-brother to two winners, being out of a full-sister to the useful Dubai Prince, so it is a family connections know well.
14:45 (Goodwood) Pink Satin
Pink Satin may have caught a tartar when second to Zoulou Chief at Windsor and is worth another chance in the William Hill Epic Boost Fillies’ Nursery.
This homebred half-sister to high-class performer Highland Chief was well backed on her handicap bow following a 51-day break and remains a filly with plenty of potential.
16:30 (Goodwood) King Lear
King Lear created a big impression when galloping on strongly to score by four lengths at Nottingham last month and is rated one to follow in the Ambrose Harcourt Memorial Novice Stakes.
George Boughey’s colt had previously shown promise first time out at Newmarket and is by Galileo, out of former Falmouth Stakes winner Amazing Maria.
Tuesday's Goodwood selections in full:
GOODWOOD: 1.35 Mount Olympus, 2.10 Honest Desire, 2.45 Pink Satin, 3.20 Novel Legend, 3.55 Cover Up, 4.30 King Lear, 5.05 Count Otto.
