14:25, Goodwood - Don't underestimate In My Teens
In My Teens showed useful form on the Flat last year, her maiden victory at Down Royal working out very well, and she acquitted herself impressively in stronger races afterwards.
Admittedly, it didn't quite go to plan over hurdles, not showing any real aptitude for that discipline, but she produced a smart effort on her second start back on the level when blowing apart a valuable handicap at the Curragh last month.
That was her first start at a mile-and-a-half, a trip she has always left the impression she's crying out for, and she impressed with how strongly she travelled and readily quickened clear of some useful opposition.
That performance marked her out as a pattern-class filly and she is more than worth her place in this company, expected to progress further at this trip and the booking of Oisin Murphy is another positive.

15:00, Goodwood - Waardah can retain her crown in Lillie Langtry
Waardah developed into a smart filly last season, winning a listed race over a mile and a quarter at Goodwood before taking the step up in class and trip in her stride when beating Danielle and Goodie Two Shoes in this race.
She's from a notable middle-distance/staying family further back in her pedigree and, while she doesn't lack speed, she saw this trip out well having arrived on the scene travelling powerfully, asserting in the final furlong.
Waardah wasn't in the same form in the Group 1 Fillies & Mares Stakes at Ascot next time, but she wasn't best positioned that day, and she confirmed herself back at her best on her return in the Lester Piggott Stakes which was run at Carlisle this year.
She was beaten one and a half lengths by Estrange that day, who has since gone on to win the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh, while Coedana who finished third won at listed level at Pontefract next time. That looks very strong form and this tall, scopey filly surely has even more to offer as a four-year-old.

16:10, Goodwood - We're Goosers worth another chance
We're Goosers looks the part in the flesh - good-topped gelding - and he built on his promising return to action when routing his field at Newmarket in May.
It isn't often you seen handicaps over seven furlongs won by nine-and-a-half lengths, but he drew clear of his opposition in the style of one who is ready for a much higher grade.
He received an 11lb hike in the weights for that success and was very strong in the market in the minutes before the Britannia at Royal Ascot went off, but for whatever reason he failed to fire.
That run was clearly too bad to be true, heavily eased off as if something was amiss, and he's well worth another chance to prove this mark is still a lenient one - he's at least 4lb clear of his rivals on Timeform weight-adjusted ratings in this field.
We're Goosers has subsequently been gelded and he remains a smart prospect.
