15:35 Goodwood — Veuve Clicquot Molecomb Stakes (Group 3)
Course and distance winner PERSHAADA outran her big odds when finishing fourth in the Group Two Queen Mary Stakes and Richard Hannon’s charge can get back to winning ways quickly.
Placed twice on the all-weather in each of her first two runs, she ran out a comfortable winner on her turf debut here in May, beating Kentucky Rain in a race where the first five home finished strung out. The Persian Force filly latterly finished fourth at big odds behind Victorious at Ascot, and that form has been significantly boosted both by the runner-up and the fifth horse home.
She has plenty of scope to improve further and winning form here is always a positive so she gets the vote to get back on a winning track quickly.
16:10 Goodwood — Visit Qatar Sussex Stakes (Group 1)
Unbeaten BOW ECHO and Gstaad go head to head again, and George Boughey’s star can thwart his old rival once again.
The Night Of Thunder colt beat Gstaad to land the 2000 Guineas on his seasonal return and confirmed that form when outpointing the Ballydoyle runner to land the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, although he was made to dig deep to land a narrow verdict.
He travelled the best into the race, posting the quickest furlong of the race when swooping into the lead; however, he had to dig deep when Gstaad came back at him, although he showed his mettle to hold off the challenge.
This is a strong renewal, but he looks as if his improvement hasn’t hit its ceiling just yet and he can land another Group One victory here.
Where are the best odds for the double?
The double is bigger with Betfred than with any other bookmaker. At the time of writing, Betfred prices the Pershaada and Bow Echo win double at 8.45/1, so a £10 double returns £94.50. Because the best price sits with Betfred, you’ll want a Betfred account to take it — and new customers can claim £50 in free bets at the same time, effectively backing the double with money on top.
