13:50 Goodwood - Aerion Power

He was third here in 2021 and won well at Nottingham two starts ago. He clearly didn't run up to that level of form under a penalty in the Hunt Cup last time but he is 3lb lower here and he has his chance, even if drawn 15.

14:25 Goodwood - The Parthenon

He has missed his last two planned engagements but hopefully he can show what he is capable of here. Of course, he has to step up a fair bit from the bare form of his Gowran Park win in June but we think he is well worth his chance in this company.

15:35 Goodwood - Kyprios

There'd be a few in here whose chance you have to respect but my horse is clearly the one to beat. After a couple of warm-up wins in lesser company, I loved the way he did it for me at Royal Ascot last time, which was probably his best effort since his unbeaten 2022 season, which included a defeat of Stradivarius in this race. He is in good shape for this.

16:45 Goodwood - I Maximus

I didn't ride him on his debut, or in the maiden itself, but he looks to have shaped very promisingly at Newbury earlier in the month, especially since he slightly blew the start. This is a competitive maiden, as you'd expect for the money, but he has a fair chance on what he showed first time up.

Timeform Verdict

The Parthenon - 14:25 Goodwood

Kyprios is 10lb clear on Timeform's ratings for the Goodwood Cup and is Ryan Moore's best chance on the opening day of the Goodwood Festival, but that's reflected in his price and he's a long odds-on favourite.

One that's a bigger price but still deserves his position at the head of the betting is The Parthenon in the Vintage Stakes. Others have achieved more on the figures so far but The Parthenon has made a promising start to his career.

He impressed with his strength at the finish when getting off the mark at Gowran Park last month and there is more to come from this well-bred colt who is by Kingman and out of an Oaks runner-up from an excellent family.
