14:25 Goodwood — Coral Vintage Stakes (Group 2) — NAP
AL HUDAIBA (15/8) is likely to prove a tough nut to crack having won all three completed starts, most recently in a Group Two at Newmarket when beating Abraham Lincoln by a short-head.
The Dark Angel colt looked a difficult ride that day, hanging markedly left from two out; but he kept finding and hauled in the winner late on with reopposing Pikachu back in third. That form has been boosted by a subsequent Listed winner coming out of that race.
Charlie Appleby reaches for blinkers now, which could help him to better focus his energies, and if he can further improve, he can win again.
15:00 Goodwood — HKJC World Pool Lennox Stakes (Group 2) — NB
QIRAT (10/3) is 3-3 over this course – twice over the trip – and Ralph Beckett’s charge can uphold that excellent course record.
Last season’s Sussex Stakes winner went off the boil afterwards, and the Showcasing gelding has taken a couple of runs to hit top form this season. Equipped with a first-time tongue tie, he resumed winning ways at York last month and with the headgear retained, he can go well here.
That latest victory came in a Group Three over this seven-furlong trip, and it was perhaps a switch to more forceful tactics in the headgear which provided the improvement. He’ll have to back that up although he could very well do so at a venue that clearly suits him.
Where are the best odds for the double?
The double is bigger with bet365 than with any other bookmaker. At the time of writing, bet365 prices the Al Hudaiba and Qirat win double at 11.96/1, compared with a standard 11.47/1 elsewhere. On a £10 double, that’s the difference between a return of around £119.60 and £114.70 — a meaningful edge on the same two selections.
Because the best price sits with bet365, you’ll need a bet365 account to take it. New customers can open one and claim a welcome offer at the same time, effectively backing the double with free bets.
