Won three turf races in 2017 including at Listed level for Andre Fabre. Well tried last year finishing with a close second in a minor event at Le Croise-Laroche. Disappointing on debut for new yard at Chelmsford, however, and must bounce back.

Produced with what appeared to be a winning challenge over 6f at Chelmsford last week, only to be worn down close home. On a fair mark and handles the ground, so must be respected. Engaged at Chelmsford on Tuesday.

Tricky sort. Hasn't built on two successes for Dermot Weld last year, and weakened tamely at Sandown last time, having shaped better at Bath on his previous outing. Risky.

Best effort this season when runner-up at Ascot on his penultimate outing, but was well beaten there last time, and while well treated on his best form, does look to be a declining force.

All turf wins on good or softer, and didn't need to be close to his best to win a claimer at Wolverhampton last time for Mark Johnston. Put in on a favourable mark (7lb below official) for new yard here, and respected.

Back to form when a ready winner over 7f at Epsom of firm ground last month, but a bit below that form on either side of that success. Handles soft ground and stays 1m well, so not ruled out.

Took advantage of drop in the weights with success at Newmarket in June, and creditable second at Sandown two starts back. Ridden too aggressively last time, and forgiven that, but soft ground is a definite worry.

Won his maiden over C&D, and a three-time winner on good or faster turf this year, including for this rider in similar event to this at Sandown last time. Again put in off a 5lb lower mark that his official rating.

Won a soft-ground 7f handicap here last spring, and is now 14lb lower. Not shown much spark this year, but potentially well treated starting out for a new yard, so worth a market check.

Forecasts

Alemaratalyoum (5/2), Tukhoom (4/1), Mutaabeq (9/2), Mountain Rescue (10/1), Shady Mccoy (10/1), Love Dreams (10/1), Key Player (10/1), Glen Shiel (12/1), Enigmatic (12/1), Plunger (12/1), Zap (25/1), Taurean Star (33/1)

14:30 Goodwood - 25 September 2019 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Alemaratalyoum would be a player if taking his chance (engaged overnight at Chelmsford) but LOVE DREAMS has been put in well under his official mark in this optional claimer, and that makes him a major player. Tukhoom is also 5lb well in based on his official mark and won a similar race at Sandown last time, so must be on the shortlist.
  1. Love Dreams
  2. Tukhoom
