Templegate
- 1.50 Goodwood – Timoshenko
- 2.25 Goodwood – Sir Ron Priestley
- 3.00 Goodwood – Liberty Beach
- 3.35 Goodwood – Phoenix Of Spain
- 4.10 Goodwood – Mighty Spirit
- 4.45 Goodwood – Naqaawa NAP
- 5.55 Goodwood – Aljady
GO on a Naq attack. NAQAAWA won twice when trained by Owen Burrows last season and she looked to have improved over the winter when successful on her debut for William Haggas at Chelmsford earlier in the month.
There’s more to come from her and she could easily end up being better than a handicapper.
A wide draw is not ideal but there are so many runners inside her who will likely want to settle in rear James Doyle should be able to get across behind the leaders without too much trouble.

- 1.50 Goodwood – Lil Rockerfella EW
- 2.25 Goodwood – Eminence EW
- 3.00 Goodwood – Maven
- 3.35 Goodwood – Phoenix Of Spain EW NAP
The big one, the Group 1 Sussex Stakes, is over 1m at 3.35pm.
PHOENIX OF SPAIN ran poorly at Royal Ascot behind re-opposing Circus Maximus but he’ll be hard to keep out the frame here.
I think he will be able to sit handy behind the Irish pacemaker and get first run on some of these. His Irish 2000 Guineas win was really good and he was a fine juvenile with scope for Charlie Hills.
