TABITI (1.55 Goodwood, nap)
She was a cracking third in the Sandringham Stakes at Royal Ascot last time. She led past the furlong marker in that red-hot mile contest and dropping back in trip here looks perfect.
LADY IMAN (2.30 Goodwood, nb)
She looks much the best filly in this race and hopefully top Irish trainer Ger Lyons can land his first winner on British soil since way back in 2019. He won't have had many better chances than this talented Starman filly who took the Group 3 Blackbeard Stakes at Naas in May before going close in hot company at The Curragh last time.
NATIVE WARRIOR (4.55 Goodwood, treble)
He landed a smooth success on the sand at Newcastle last time and takes a drop in class here. A 3lb rise in the weights is more than fair and he can strike for Karl Burke with Christophe Soumillon doing the steering.
Templegate's TV verdicts
GOODWOOD
1.20
SING US A SONG can be forgiven one poor run at Royal Ascot where he was sleeping in the stalls.
Ralph Beckett's Camelot colt is better judged on his blistering Sandown win that kicked off this season.
He shapes like this trip will be ideal and has more to come off a fair mark.
The yard has another chance with Cape Breton who won nicely from the front at Salisbury. This is tougher but there's more to come.
Sudu deserves this hike in grade after winning by seven lengths at Epsom earlier this month. He's been hiked 11lb but has lots of talent.
Omni Man was a solid fifth at Royal Ascot on a tough handicap debut.
He likes this trip and Ryan Moore rides for Joseph O'Brien. They have every chance.
Kurakka didn't enjoy dropping to 1m2f at Newmarket last time after a good Haydock win over this trip.
1.55
PICK up the Tab with Ralph Beckett's improver in the Oak Tree Stakes.
TABITI was a cracking third in the Sandringham Stakes at Royal Ascot last time.
She led past the furlong marker in that red-hot mile contest and dropping back in trip here looks perfect.
Romantic Style and Jabaara look the main threats.
Here's my guide to the field, where I rate them one (worst) to five (best):
BRIGHT THUNDER 3
THUNDER clap. In fine form with French Listed win last time. Handles good and won't mind dropping to 7f. Player.
CHIC COLOMBINE 1
COL it off. Listed winner at best and has scored here before but been out of form for a long time. Lot to prove now.
CLOUD COVER 3
COVER up. Two Listed wins on AW, stays 7f strongly and travels. Player if matching that level on rare turf run.
FAIR ANGELLICA 2
JUST Fair. Solid G3 fourth at Newbury last time over 6f but stays. Goes on any ground but needs more for this.
HAVANA PUSEY 1
HAVANA laugh. Reliable handicapper with two 7f wins here and at Windsor. Handles C&D but this is a tougher test all round.
JABAARA 4
JAB landed. Solid Listed performer over this trip and yard in form. Likes quick ground and won't be far away.
JASNA'S SECRET 3
SECRET hope. French raider with Listed win in April and a close-up Group 3 fourth last time over this trip. Best on easy ground but should handle conditions okay.
ROMANTIC STYLE 4
SMART Style. Smart Meydan winner in January and unlucky in G3 Abernant at HQ on return. Solid 7f filly when right and can figure under Buick.
ARABIAN DUSK 3
DUSK may dawn. She has gone close at Group 2 level this season over 6f but should relish this trip. Has class and won't be far away.
BETTY CLOVER 2
BETTY oops. She's been placed here and in this grade but was pulled up on firm at Royal Ascot and may prefer a mile.
FORMAL 3
FORMAL wary. Epsom Listed winner in June but well held since at York. Yet to truly convince at this level but has potential if back on song.
SAQQARA SANDS 3
SHIFTING Sands. Carlisle Listed win last time after good runs at Epsom and Newbury. Respected but likes soft.
SILVER GHOST 2
GHOST her. Two good 7f handicap wins in spring and shaped okay in big Royal Ascot field. Likes this track, but others stronger on form.
TABITI 5
BITI has bite. Lightly raced filly who took a step forward when third in Sandringham at Royal Ascot. She travels well and finishes strongly. Big potential improver with drop to 7f fine.
2.30
LADY IMAN looks much the best filly in this race and hopefully top Irish trainer Ger Lyons can land his first winner on British soil since way back in 2019.
He won't have had many better chances than this talented Starman filly who took the Group 3 Blackbeard Stakes at Naas in May before going close in hot company at The Curragh last time.
This is only the second time Ryan Moore's ridden for the yard and the drop back to the minimum trip should help given how sweetly she travels.
Military Code was just nabbed in a Sandown Listed race over this trip latest and may find it easier to get home here.
Charlie Appleby is in fine form and his hope goes on good or rattling fast ground.
Ameeq got clattered by a rival jockey's whip when finishing strongly behind superstar Charles Darwin in the Norfolk Stakes last time.
That was a smart performance he relishes this trip. A repeat of that would take him close.
Sands Of Spain showed lots of zip when third in the Super Sprint at Newbury and still looked green so there should be more to come.
Argentine Tango is proven at Listed level over 6f and could nick a place if the pace isn't too hot.
3.05
FIELD OF GOLD looks on a different level to his elders and can follow in his sire Kingman's hoofprints by winning the Sussex Stakes.
We all know he should have won the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket before he demolished his rivals in the Irish version before a bloodless success in the St James's Palace at Royal Ascot last time.
There are no trip or ground worries and, while he hasn't tackled a tricky track like this before, there's no reason why he won't handle it.
There are only two places thanks to the small field but I still fancy Docklands to make the frame.
He survived his rider dropping the whip to take the Queen Anne ahead of Rosallion last time and there won't be a lot between them again.
Rosallion already has a couple of Group 1s on his CV but it was a bit surprising that Docklands was able to hold off his challenge at Royal Ascot.
Aidan O'Brien sends over his French 2,000 Guineas winner Henri Matisse who was a solid second to Field Of Gold in the St James's Palace without ever looking likely to win.
He gets the three-year-old weight allowance off the older horses but needs a big step up to figure.
Aussie raider Carl Spackler was a fair sixth in the Queen Anne and it will be a surprise if he turns that form around.
3.45
BINTJEDDAH finished like a train when second over a mile at Newmarket last time and this longer trip should be ideal.
The handicapper has been fair with a 2lb rise and there's more to come for William Haggas.
Quebella looks a threat having run well in a Listed contest here in June before going close in a decent handicap at Southwell.
Her mark of 87 looks lenient and she's capable of figuring in this company.
Model Yuko makes her handicap debut on the back of a bloodless maiden win at Wolverhampton.
She looks all about stamina and should improve for this longer trip.
Ashariba was just over a length off the pace at Newcastle latest and has solid turn form too.
She's a contender in an open race along with Music Piece who travelled well over 1m4f at Ascot last time before his stamina gave way.
Ralph Beckett has a good record in this so watch for any market move around his Power Of Destiny.

The main talking points as British and Irish Lions target Australia whitewash
Lions target clean sweep British and Irish Lions head coach Andy Farrell (David Davies/PA) Andy Farrell's tourists enhanced their reputations by showing they have the character to match their quality after emerging from a desperately tight second Test with a series victory. Now they are determined to take their place in the Lions pantheon by ending their Australia expedition with a 100 per cent record. No Lions team have won every Test since the 1927 visit to Argentina, while the 1974 'Invincibles' who took on South Africa were the last side to complete an unbeaten tour. Final Test but full throttle The series may already have been won, but no mercy is being shown to Australia in selection. Rather than rotating in fresh legs to reward deserving squad members who just missed the cut, the established 23 have been retained with the hard grafting James Ryan and unpredictable Blair Kinghorn the only new starters. The selection for the Sydney Olympic Park clash reflects how much the Lions value the clean sweep and by Saturday night only 27 players will have been used in the Tests. Leading the pride Farrell has been reluctant to say if he wanted to take charge of the next Lions tour to New Zealand in 2029, but after masterminding Australia's demise with a game to spare, the job would be his to turn down. Apart from the success on the field, the Ireland boss has created a harmonious squad environment and is revered by his players and coaching staff. When the tourists talk about a united squad effort, they mean it. 'I just love everything that the Lions is about' said Farrell on Thursday and there is no better champion for the institution described by manager Ieuan Evans as a 'glorious anachronism'. Among the greats British and Irish Lions' Tadhg Furlong (Brian Lawless/PA) Tadhg Furlong reaches a special milestone on Saturday by making his ninth successive start for the Lions, becoming only the seventh player to do so but the first in the professional era. For three consecutive tours the remarkable Ireland tighthead prop has acted as the cornerstone of the scrum, as well proving his quality in every other department of the game. Adding to the achievement is that he has kept his place in the Lions' front row despite his season being ravaged by calf and hamstring injuries. When he returns home, it will be as a Lions great. The Wallabies' last stand Australia shot down critics questioning their place among the Lions' tour destinations by going within 51 seconds of winning a captivating second Test. It was the performance needed from the Wallabies to validate the tour but the question now is how much they have left in the tank after rising to the occasion so manfully in Melbourne. Star forward Rob Valetini has been ruled out by his calf problem, but offsetting that major blow is that Will Skelton is able to continue in the second row despite his recent calf injury. The Wallabies are underdogs, but avoiding a whitewash is all the motivation they need to cause an upset.

Arne Slot comments on Liverpool transfers fly in face of FSG claims amid Alexander Isak pursuit
Liverpool have spent nearly £300m after an incredible summer of big spending as the Reds look to make Alexander Isak their next lucrative addition - despite criticism of the club's tight purse-strings in recent years Liverpool boss Arne Slot has made his stance clear on the club's spending policy, claiming the club "never hesitate" to splash the cash despite accusations that owners FSG have been frugal with their money since taking over the club. The Reds are having a huge summer of spending as they approach £300million following massive buys, the latest being £79m on Hugo Ekitike, who joined after Liverpool shelled out a British record fee of £116.5m on Bayer Leverksen playmaker Florian Wirtz. Those two deals alone show that FSG and the newly minted Premier League champions mean business this summer. Liverpool have also brought full-backs Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez through the door- and there could be yet another big-money transfer amid reports that they are willing to go all out for the £150m-rated Alexander Isak. It seemed Liverpool had signed Ekitike instead of Isak after being informed Newcastle would not sell their star striker. But with the player informing his club that he wants to explore his options this summer, a mega-money transfer could yet happen. This bumper spending spree marks a major change in direction for FSG, who still cannot be accused of failing to bring big names to Anfield considering the lucrative signings of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Alisson in the past. There is a real opportunity for Liverpool to build on their Premier League title triumph and create a dynasty in the top flight, even though they only needed just one new signing to pip their rivals to the crown last year. But Slot, speaking before Liverpool's pre-season tour of Asia, said their summer splurge shows they will spent money when the opportunity is there. 'I always say, another thing about Liverpool is that if we see a chance in the market, we never hesitate to bring someone in,' the Dutchman said. "In the end it's about quality and we have already made some very good signings. In terms of quality, we are already in the right place. I think this club has always worked like this. We do spend, but if we spend, then we always need to recoup some money. 'It's what we already started last summer when we only brought in Federico Chiesa, but we sold three or four players, which meant a big profit. So if you balance things out, we've spent, for sure, but we've also recouped money.' The summer before last, Liverpool chiefs committed around £150m on four signings - Dominik Szoboszlai (£60m), Alexis Mac Allister (£35m), Ryan Gravenberch (£34m) and Wataru Endo (£17), three of which have transformed the team. In the 2022-23 campaign they splashed out around £85m on Darwin Nunez while Cody Gakpo arrived in January for roughly £35m, while Luis Diaz and Ibrahima Konate were the only major arrivals the season prior. None of those campaigns have compared to the huge spending power Liverpool have shown off this summer - evidence that FSG chiefs are ready to back Slot after their superb title win and help him win even more silverware. Liverpool fans have protested against their American owners - led by John W. Henry - in the past - staging a demonstration during a Champions League tie against Atalanta following ticket price hikes. The previous year fans flew a banner over Anfield during a clash against Tottenham which read "FSG out" over a lack of investment when they were managed by Jurgen Klopp. For now, Liverpool fans will have little to complain about, especially if their pursuit of Isak proves to be successful.
