Horse racing tips: ‘Everything perfect for Ryan Moore's mount' – Templegate's day two Glorious Goodwood NAP
Back a horse by clicking their odds - and check out this
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
Most read in Horse Racing
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

Qirat causes enormous shock in Sussex Stakes at Goodwood
Field Of Gold's pacemaker Qirat caused an almighty shock with a 150-1 victory in the Visit Qatar Sussex Stakes at Goodwood. John and Thady Gosden's Field Of Gold was a 1-3 shot to follow in the hoofprints of his sire Kingman by adding this prestigious Group One contest to his previous top-level victories in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and the St James's Palace Stakes. The Ralph Beckett-trained Qirat, who was last seen finishing 27th of 30 runners in the Royal Hunt Cup, was supplemented for the race last week at a cost of £70,000 in a bid to ensure the red-hot favourite had a strong gallop to aim at. But the race did not go to script, with Qirat keeping up the gallop to emerge triumphant under Richard Kingscote, despite the best efforts of Rosallion, who was a neck adrift at the line. Field Of Gold, meanwhile, had to settle for a laboured fourth, with Henri Matisse third. Ger Lyons has his sights on America after Lady Iman made a successful Goodwood raid to regain the winning thread in the HKJC World Pool Molecomb Stakes. The daughter of Starman had dazzled in her opening three outings but lost her unbeaten record to Aidan O'Brien's Beautify at the Curragh in the Airlie Stud Stakes. Reverting to five furlongs for her first taste of action on British soil, she was sent off the 11-8 favourite and Ryan Moore kept things simple, travelling smoothly in the slipstream of the early leaders before taking over in the final furlong where she was not for catching. Tim Easterby's consistent Argentine Tango gave chase in vain for an honourable second, with Kevin Ryan's early pacesetter Dickensian in third. Stable companions Saqqara Sands and Tabiti shared the honours after the judge announced a dead-heat following a thrilling renewal of the HKJC World Pool Oak Tree Stakes. Tabiti was among the leading contenders for the Group Three contest at 9-2 and with blinkers applied for a second time, the three-year-old set out to make all the running in the hands of Ryan Moore. Saqqara Sands, a much bigger price at 16-1 under Rossa Ryan, emerged from the pack as the biggest threat inside the final furlong and while she briefly managed to poke her head in front, Tabiti battled back and the Ralph Beckett-trained pair passed the post as one.

Gardaí to cycle 500km in Spain to raise funds for Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind
The Garda Tour De Force consists of gardaí and friends who have been cycling annually since 1991 to raise funds for Irish charities. Marion Lynch from Guide Dogs for the Blind with Assistant Commissioner Angela Willis, Ambassador Ion della Riva and Inspector Pat Duggan. Also in the picture are Guide Dogs Belle, Willow and Oakley. Picture: Frank McGrath The Garda Tour De Force cycling group which has raised over €1 million for charities over the past three decades is about to get in the saddle for another fundraising push. This year, the funds raised will be again donated to the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind charity. Next month, the cyclists will embark on a 500km cycle from Cadi-Moixero National Park in the Pyrenees bordering Andorra and Spain, finishing in Barcelona, with the assistance of their counterparts in the Spanish Police. Pictured at the launch of the Garda Tour de Force in aid of the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind at the Spanish Ambassadors resident on Ailesbury Rd in Dublin, were Ambassador Ion della Riva along with Assistant Commissioner Angela Willis with Garda members who will partake in the charity cycle in Spain and staff from Irish Guide Dogs for the blind. Picture: Frank McGrath The fundraiser was launched on Tuesday afternoon by Spanish ambassador to Ireland Ion de la Riva Guzmán de Frutos at his residence in Dublin 4 and was also attended by Assistant Garda Commissioner Angela Willis. The Garda Tour De Force consists of gardaí and friends who have been cycling annually since 1991 to raise funds for Irish charities. Last year, they raised almost €44,000 for Irish Guide Dogs For The Blind and almost €4,000 for a host of other charities. On that occasion, 20 cyclists and support staff embarked on a 500km Spanish trip from Malaga to Seville in September raising a total of €47,770 – almost €8,000 more than their target.

Picture: Frank McGrath News in 90 Seconds - Wednesday, July 30 Among the beneficiaries have been Crumlin Children's Hospital, Debra Ireland, Aware, the Irish Heart Foundation, the Alzheimer's Society of Ireland and Cystic Fibrosis Ireland. The Marie Keating Foundation, Laura Lynn, Age Action, St John of Gods (Re Nua) and Trust, a charity caring for the homeless in Dublin, have also benefited. On their first fundraising ride 33 years ago, members of the team cycled to Ashford, Co Wicklow, to raise money for The HolyAngels Infant Intensive Care Unit at the Coombe Hospital, Dublin. Since 2005, they have embarked on more challenging routes in Ireland and continental Europe. In 2023, they embarked on a 500km cycle from Basel, Switzerland, to Bad Toelz in Germany through the foothills of the German and Austrian Alps in which €32,000 was raised. And in 2010 they even went cycling in North America. Each participant in the charity ride must raise at least €1,000 for the charity and pay their own costs. A Tour De Force spokeswoman told the Irish Independent: 'Our main sponsors this year are: Fleet Plan, Copper Face Jacks, FBD Insurance, Blooms Hotel, Oliver St. John Gogarty's, Fitzwilliam Hotel, ' Euro Cycles, Quanta Capital, Irish Independent Newspapers and The Irish Sun. 'We would like to thank them for their kind support and generous donations to this worthy cause.'
