"He has form over this shorter 7f trip. It’s looks a decent race but, as with my other handicap rides on the day, he has his chance."
Betfair Ambassador Ryan Moore has a few rides that should be in contention on the final day of Glorious Goodwood. Get his exclusive insight on them all...
Expect well-related colt to improve
13:05 - Loyal Touch
I am not sure how strong the form is but he certainly shaped as though the experience would have done him plenty of good when a close third at Salisbury on his debut. A couple of others in here look to have showed better form to date, but of course improvement is expected here and I see this well-related colt - he is a half-brother to the Irish Derby winner Sovereign - has a Champagne Stakes entry, too
Each-way chance against strong favourite
13:40 - Nelson Gay
He shaped well enough for me when fourth off this mark at Sandown last time, so I see no reason why he doesn't have an each-way chance here. The well-in Lethal Levi could take plenty of stopping though.
Has chance back on favoured trip
14:10 - HMS President
It was obviously a very messy race that he ran in at Newmarket last time, so I would ignore that run and concentrate on his earlier win here over 1m4f. He is only 3lb higher, he stays this trip well and has run well off a higher mark in the past, so he has his chance.
Fair claims if she handles track
14:45 - Emily Dickinson
As with most of the Group races here this week, I think most in here have a realistic winning chance. Emily Dickinson certainly has fair claims if handling the track, as her fourth in the Irish Oaks last time was her best effort yet, and gives her very solid claims getting 12lb from the older horses. She stays this trip well enough, too.
Step up should suit
15:20 - Regional
Officially, he is the best handicapped horse in here after his a narrow second over 5f at Doncaster earlier in the month, being 3lb well-in on that effort, so let's hope that proves to be accurate. He is relatively lightly-raced and the step up should suit, looking at his race history.
Looking for another win with form over this trip
15:55 - Koy Koy
He wasn't beaten far in the Britannia and then came out and won at Newmarket last time on his first start for the yard. He only won narrowly there, so the handicapper has only upped him 2lb, and he has form over this shorter 7f trip. It's looks a decent race but, as with my other handicap rides on the day, he has his chance.
In with a shout if producing best form
16:30 - Bolthole
The handicapper has left his mark alone after the Britannia, which is maybe a touch harsh given he finished down the field there. But he is better than that - maybe the 1m trip was a touch too sharp for him at Ascot but, against that, he was balloted out of the Golden Mile on Friday - and a return to the form of his Newmarket win over 1m2f puts him in with a shout here.
