Friday Racing Tips: Key Timeform data including a top-rated Horse In Focus

13:57, Goodwood - Exciting Love Is to book Royal Ascot spot

A small field but all three look promising, with Love Is selected to make the most of the 5 lb sex allowance she receives.

The Richard Hughes-trained filly is a half-sister to several winners, including the useful Dark Tornado, and there was talk of Royal Ascot after her debut win at Windsor where she found her sizable stride late on having appeared to struggle to go the early gallop.

Although that form is yet to be tested, there were some big yards represented and the fact that she was sent off at 16/1 suggests that there could be plenty more to come with that experience under her belt.

15:07, Goodwood - Give It To Me OJ expected to improve back on the Flat

A quintet of stayers to view positively with preference for Give It To Me Oj, who could have even more to offer on the Flat now upped to two miles. 

Gary Moore won this race in 2019 and 2022, and while Give It To Me Oj will be much shorter in the betting than those winners, he looks up to defying a mark that is 5 lb higher than when last seen (winning) on the Flat at Epsom.

15:42, Goodwood - Lightly-weighted Venetia going the right way

Lots with chances in a cracking handicap but it's hard to side against the lightly-weighted Venetia who still looks ahead of her mark despite a 4 lb rise for her recent Ascot victory. 

Connections have hardly been hiding their light under a bushel given she has made the running on each start, but she looked ahead of her mark earlier this month and should progress further as she moves up in trip (dam won up to 14f).
