Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Danielle No. 3, stall 2
William Buick · John & Thady Gosden
✓ Top rated ✓ Distance winner ✓ Won last time out
Danielle heads this six-runner Goodwood contest on ratings, sitting narrowly ahead of Waardah, and the step up to fourteen furlongs on good-to-firm ground looks well suited to her profile. Waardah is the most obvious threat and must be respected, while Santorini Star and Goodie Two Shoes are not without claims if the principals underperform. Confidence is tempered by the closeness of the form, but on balance Danielle merits the nod.

Racecard
Tom Marquand
William Haggas 8/44
Santorini Star has winning form at this level — a winner three starts back and again five starts back — and she handles today's distance and going, making her a genuine threat off an official mark of 111. The concern is a 42-day break and an unplaced effort last time out.

Luke Morris
Sir Mark Prescott Bt 8/24
That winning record in recent starts is genuine, but she sits bottom of our rankings and her speed figure of 91 leaves plenty to find; a lengthy 72-day absence and that tame ninth last time out make her hard to fancy, despite having run over today's trip.

William Buick
John & Thady Gosden 5/29
Danielle arrives here in the form of her life, winning back-to-back and bringing both distance and going experience to the table; the 70-day absence is the one query, but at 135 lb she remains the one to beat on these terms.

Joseph Patrick O'Brien 15/78
Goodie Two Shoes arrives on the back of a runner-up finish 24 days ago, and her record in recent starts — placed three times in her last five, including a win — marks her as a genuine danger; the main concern is whether 135 lb tests her stamina over today's trip.

Callum Rodriguez

Waardah showed smart form with back-to-back wins three and four starts back, and she lines up with distance and going experience under 135 lb; the 63-day absence is the one question mark against her.

Ryan Moore
A P O'Brien 6/52
Amelia Earhart has disappointed in her last two starts — fifth most recently and sixth two starts back — though she showed better form when winning on two occasions further back. Going experience is in her favour, but she looks up against it here on our figures.
