Horse Antepost

I seem to be fancying and backing a lot of old favourites at this years Goodwood and so to keep that pattern up I have to give another chance to Spanish City @ 16/1 in the Stewards Cup on Saturday.
He's a model of consistency which of course means he keeps creeping up the handicap without winning (last won off 88 npow rated 96) but he loves these big cavalry charges and while he usually runs at 7f I reckons he could be as effective over 6f. Varian did a similar thing with Cape Byron.
He was taken out of the big 7f H'Cap at Ascot last Saturday because of the softening ground, though the fact they had the option of running here a week later instead must have swayed that decision. It is forecast to be dry and warm from tomorrow so the ground should be fine.

My selection too uncle.
A significant factor for me is that he wears blinkers for the first time. |

Really tough race - I have been following Spanish Steps this season - I do think he has got a big race in him - was annoyed he was taken out last week but again thought id persevere - what concerns me is Varian has a more fancied horse in the race and with Andrea Atzeni on him not sure it will be SS day tomorrow, I backed him ante-post think he will be a much bigger price on the day - So think I have probably lost out there
In terms of jockey bookings - the two I like are Summerghand with Ryan Moore and cant ignore JUSTANOTHERBOTTLE booking with James Doyle who was touched off in this last year and has been clearly laid out for this race. Of the outsiders - Old favourite GROWL who is more appealing with Hanagan not on board. He came 3rd in the race last year and ran some solid races this season think he is a solid choice for each-way considering there are 6 places Good luck guys! |

Growl appeals to me . He is really well handicapped and runs well here .

The sponsor Unibet want to increase their exposure thus might drop "Stewards" from its title. Whatever it does it's still a Conference League bookie; their sponsorship of the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham did not endear punters of the race either similarly ***way for the Queen Mother Chase.
Money does not buy one credibility, being a proper bookie does; just take some bets, and pay out without undue hassle. |
