I thought I would apply a similar approach to yesterday, and make class adjustments. alas time has restricted me to the first 16 or so in the betting.
Goodwood 3.50: 6f Class 2 Stewards Cup handicap.
In order of merit, after adjusting for weight;
HAWKEYETHENOO - In not too great form at present,, and I would guess any ease in the going from a passing shower would help, but is the only runner to get a high rating from a Group 1 race earlier in the season, and did bounce back to form to win this last year.
NINJAGO comes jointly next best from a Class 2 event. Quite consistent and 6f would appear to be his trip.
HEAVEN'S GUEST got an excellent rating from just beating yesterday's Group 1 winner, but don't take that too literally, as the other horse improved for going at a quicker pace. Still, with a big weight concession, he should be in the mix.
WHOZTHECAT is another who could be well there on current form, and his trail-blazing style is well suited to this course. Same claiming jockey that has won on him the last twice in Ireland, and is really consistent at the moment. Another bold show can be expected.
DINKUM DIAMOND is next best from his run at Epsom, and is the sort of horse who is due a big h'cap win. Today could be his day.
Of the remainder of those I rated, I would give HOOF IT a shout, as he got a decent rating in his only run so far this season. That was a Listed contest, and he is the winner from two years ago. Improvement to come from the first run would see him go close.
Brief, but to the point. Any of the above could win, but all bar Whozthecat need to be where the pace is. He will plough a lone furrow on the stand's side.
Have a good day ...
