14:30 (Goodwood) Lattam

Lattam can put an unlucky recent run behind him in the William Hill Handicap.

Trained by William Haggas, the four-year-old lined up in the ultra-competitive Golden Mile at this track last month as the 5-1 favourite having won on his previous start at Newcastle.

However, he finished down the field, beaten nine lengths in 15th place, although the bare statistics possibly do not do justice to his effort as Lattam did not enjoy an ideal run.

He missed the break and then ran a bit keen before finding his passage blocked at a crucial stage, so that performance can be upgraded a little.

On an unchanged mark of 95, Lattam will also have conditions to his liking here.

 

15:40 (Goodwood) My Prospero

Lattam's stablemate My Prospero should be winning the Listed Foundation Stakes judged on the ratings.

His perch of 119 puts him well ahead of his rivals in this 10-furlong contest, but the assessor has actually dropped his mark slightly after a surprise defeat in the York Stakes on his latest start.

Beaten a half-length by Alflaila on the Knavesmire on good ground, his two best career efforts have come on easier conditions, so it might pay to keep the faith a little longer.

 

16:15 (Goodwood) Local Arms

 

 

Karl Burke boasts an exceptional record with his juveniles this term and Local Arms can claim another nice prize for him in the British EBF £100,000 2YO Fillies’ Series Final.

While this Saxon Warrior filly is clearly not on a par with the stable’s division stars Darnation and Fallen Angel, there was much to like about her eight-length demolition job at Beverley last week.

The form may not be much to write home about, but the manner of her success was eyecatching and she looked capable of plenty more.

 

16:50 (Goodwood) Albany

It is a big week for the Ralph Beckett team with Westover primed to shoot for Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe gold – and Albany can give them a nice confidence boost at a lower level in the Heineken Fillies’ Handicap.

A stylish winner over 10 furlongs at Windsor, she jumps up to a mile and six furlongs here, but she certainly has the pedigree for a stamina test.
