Thursday's ITV racing at Goodwood promises another day of high-octane action, and our expert has crunched the numbers to bring you the hottest tips for the meeting.
The Standout Selections
With competitive fields across the card, identifying value is crucial. Our top pick comes in the feature race where Golden Ace looks primed to deliver for trainer John Gosden. This progressive three-year-old has shown blistering speed in recent outings and should relish the fast conditions expected at Goodwood.
Each-Way Value
For those looking at bigger prices, Desert Mirage in the 3:15 represents excellent each-way value. The six-year-old gelding has been running consistently well in similar company and could outrun his 16/1 odds.
