ITV Racing Tips: Check out RaceOlly's five best bets for day one of Glorious Goodwood
We are set for a fabulous week of top action at Glorious Goodwood, and we have called on the services of our top tipster RaceOlly to provide his best bets throughout the week, and kicks off the week with five selections for Tuesday's action...
13:50 Goodwood - Coral Chesterfield Cup Handicap
CAP FRANCAIS hasn’t ran so well on latest starts, but started the season with a nice win at Newmarket under today's returning rider James Doyle who looks to extend that unbeaten record onboard. Ran better again at Chester from an unfavourable position on next start and latest start can be forgiven as record over 12 furlongs and further is terrible and latest start was the first time he beat a rival over that trip. Hold up horses have a good record in this and race is sure to be run to suit now eased below that mark he ran a very good second at Chester off.
15:00 Goodwood - World Pool Lennox Stakes
Goodwood can catch many horses out and it can prove useful to follow horses with good records here. HAPPY POWER puts a huge tick in that box boasting a very good course record including when 3rd beaten under half a length in this race last year and the form took plenty of boosts since. Andrew Balding is flying at the moment winning with 10 of his last 35 runners and four of his last seven. The booking of James Doyle catches the eye with the jockey having a 29% win rate when booked by the yard.
15:35 Goodwood - Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup Stakes
AWAY HE GOES goes over two miles here for the third time in his career and looks to enhance his very good record when doing so. The latest of which was when 2nd in this race last year when chasing home Trueshan on his favourite soft ground. Excuses last time after a 301-day break and a trip shorter than ideal and yard now call upon Jim Crowley who has a 40% win rate when riding for them.
16:10 Goodwood - Nicholson Gin Handicap
The Andrew Balding form mentioned earlier is brought back up here when backing STONE OF DESTINY. Plenty of good course form, first time cheekpieces and the 5lb claimer Harry Davies in the saddle are all encouraging and career low mark of 84 after good efforts recently off much higher marks adds to the excitement. Held his own in group races and won the ultra-competitive Portland off 9lbs higher before placing off marks as high as 102 last year. Has plenty of positives.

17:20 Goodwood - Coral Beaten-By-A-Length Free Bet Fillies' Handicap
FLAME OF FREEDOM hasn’t done a lot wrong lately and ran well when beaten under half a length on last start at Epsom. She had reasons for the heavy defeat at Chelmsford when well fancied in May and lost a shoe when a head second at Lingfield on reappearance off 3lb higher. Now down to last winning mark and yard reach for cheekpieces for the first time. William Buick has a 20% win rate at Goodwood over the last five years and a 27% win rate when riding for Eve Johnson Houghton.
