ITV Racing Tips: Give these selections a Whirl at Glorious Goodwood on Thursday

Day three of Glorious Goodwood is set to be headlined by a high-class Nassau Stakes, as a field of five fillies contest the mile-and-a-quarter Group 1 heat.

The feature race, due off at 15:05, is one of eight on a busy afternoon on the Sussex Downs and the ITV Racing team are in situ once more with the first five races live on their ITV1 broadcast from 13:00-16:00.

Our racing expert has picked out three horses to follow on the terrestrial offering from day three of Glorious Goodwood.

Tip 1: Fort George - Kincsem Handicap (13:20) @ 14/1

The opening contest on day three at Goodwood is a typically competitive Class 3 contest over a mile-and-a-quarter for the three-year-olds.

The likes of Best Secret, Marhaba Ghaiyyath and Best Adventure are all worthy of shortlisting, but there could be some value in siding with FORT GEORGE for the Ed Walker yard.

The Territories gelding has just five runs under his belt. He showed promise on the all-weather in a trio of novice starts and returned from his winter break to make a winning handicap bow at Newmarket (1m, good) during the Guineas Festival in May, never stronger than when running through the line.

He showed some definite signs of temperament here next time, but eventually knuckled down to come home strongly for second spot.

He's rated 4lb higher now but has scope for further progress now upped in trip and appeals as a solid each-way contender given his progressive profile and the fact that he has experience of Goodwood.

Tip 2: Rahiebb - Gordon Stakes (14:30) @ 6/1

On form from their meeting at York in May, RAHIEBB is held by Merchant, but there is reason to believe that the Roger Varian-trained son of Frankel can turn it around.

He was keen in front on the Knavesmire and did plenty of the leg work before Merchant swept by. He was getting 8lb from Rahiebb that day, they will meet on level terms now.

Merchant won the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot on his next start and is clearly progressing but he's not much bigger than even-money now.

Rahiebb ran on strongly in the Queen's Vase over 1m6f at Ascot and just failed to get up for second. He drops in trip but could have more to offer if settling in the early stages for Silvestre De Sousa.

Tip 3: Whirl - Nassau Stakes (15:05) @ 6/4

The feature race is the Nassau Stakes and, while just five fillies are engaged, it looks a belter of race as Epsom Oaks second WHIRL tackles Coronation Stakes winner Cercene, Prince Of Wales's Stakes third See The Fire, Prix de Diane runner-up Bedtime Story and John & Thady Gosden's Running Lion.

Whirl went down on her sword in the Epsom Oaks after a sustained duel with stablemate Minnie Hauk - winner of the Irish Oaks since - and the Ballydoyle filly has herself followed up in the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh (1m2f, good).

That form is also strong, the runner-up going well in second in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot last weekend.

Whirl is 2-2 over this sort of trip, a wide margin winner of the Musidora at York in May, and can continue her upward curve by giving Aidan O'Brien a sixth Nassau Stakes triumph.
