Our acca for the ITV racing on Saturday includes three selections from Glorious Goodwood. Back this 3-leg ITV accumulator for Saturday:
The Group Three Glorious Stakes kicks off the coverage on ITV this Saturday. Al Aasy makes plenty of appeal, but he could be vulnerable to a younger rival.
Therefore, a chance could be taken on Arabian Crown for Charlie Appleby and William Buick.
The four-year-old has been slightly frustrating since the spring of last year, but he did look back to somewhere near his best when taking third in the Group Two Prince of Wales’s Stakes. A return to softer ground could be the key.
Roger Varian-trained French Duke could be the obvious contender in the Summer Handicap over a mile and six on Saturday.
The four-year-old ran a decent enough race on his return at Royal Ascot in June when finishing eighth in the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes.
Has winning form at Goodwood to his name after winning over a mile and four last year. He also acts on soft, and should be well-handicapped now stepping up to a mile and six for the first time.
ITV also covers two races from Newmarket on Saturday, with a competitive handicap for two-year-olds kicking off the action.
Azleet has little to find based on RPRs with Sayidah Hard Spun, and will get weight off her rival this weekend. The Stuart Williams runner was an excellent winner on the all-weather at Southwell last month, beating Bosom Pals by five lengths.
She also ran a strong race on her sole start on the turf when narrowly beaten at York over six furlongs. Handicapped to go close.
John & Thady Gosden have been among the winners already this week, and Danielle makes plenty of appeal in the Group Two Lillie Langtry Stakes.
The four-year-old has been off the track since taking second over a mile and two on soft ground in Listed company at Doncaster last year. Has a better record than most with cut in the ground, including a second in Group Three company at Newbury last October.
Close relation to Gold Cup hero Courage Mon Ami suggests that she’ll stay this far, and will relish the ground conditions.
A typically competitive renewal of the Stewards’ Cup is due off at 15:05, and it is hard to dismiss many contenders.
However, an each-way chance could be taken on Karl Burke’s Korker. The six-year-old is typically slow away, but he had excuses in the Dash Handicap at York last week when finishing just five lengths behind Elmonjed.
He ran a solid race when three lengths behind Get It in the Wokingham Handicap at Royal Ascot, and typically enjoys slower ground (last win coming on heavy at Windsor in October 2023). Likeable contender with an each-way chance.
Meribella could hold strong claims in the Listed Chalice Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday.
Ralph Beckett’s yard is in excellent form, striking at 21% over the last two weeks. The four-year-old filly was last seen finishing third over a mile and four at Pontefract, but a return to Newmarket could spark a return to winning ways.
The filly was a winner at the track on debut over seven furlongs, and has been running consistently over the stamina-sapping distances this season, including when third and beaten just two lengths by Santorini Star at Goodwood in May.
Glorious Goodwood coverage on ITV concludes with a very competitive handicap over seven furlongs.
Shout, for the in-form Simon & Ed Crisford yard, could be one worth consideration at a bigger price. The gelding had a very solid record over seven furlongs before being stepped up to a mile at Royal Ascot in June.
Was a sound third on his last start over seven furlongs at Ascot, beaten just a length by Power Fizz. Looks well-handicapped on his best efforts, and could return some place money at the very least.
Coverage begins at 13:00 on ITV1 and ITVX. Live races today include:
