RACE 1 - Shergar Cup Dash 1.05pm

Encore D'Or

Good fourth over course and distance two runs back which is red hot form at this level. Has dropped further in the handicap and ready to pounce.

Just Glamorous

A lot to find on form this season but is a hot and cold type. A speedball that bursts out from the stall, has returned to mark of 99 that saw him fly home here last season. Will appreciate the splash of rain too.

RACE 2 - Shergar Cup Stayers 1.40pm

Hassle

Good horse over hurdles and the tougher the test the better for this nine-year-old. Any rain is an obvious plus and he'll be running on late at the line for sure.

Saunter

One of the classier types in the race and in good form after an easy win in France. Stamina a question mark, but stayed on well over two furlongs shorter last time which makes me think he'll get home over two miles.

RACE 3 - Shergar Cup Challenge 2.15pm

Eddystone Rock

Hasn't been at his best this season but handicapped to go well here judged on last summer's form.

Koeman

Course and distance winner and the Channon yard are finding their feet again. Consistent type and 4lbs rise shouldn't stop his progress after win last time.

RACE 4 - Shergar Cup Mile 2.50pm

Mythical Madness

Had a hard time in the Goodwood traffic and would have got a lot closer to impressive winner Seniority with a clear run. This easier.

What's The Story

On the same mark as solid effort in Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot. Not as good since but this race should suit much better.

RACE 5 - Shergar Cup Challenge - 3.25pm

Corelli

A one time Derby chance, hasn't been seen since finishing a quiet third in the Lingfield Derby trial. Shoulders a big weight but could be far too good for these.

Bubble And Squeak

Consistent type. Doesn't win as often as he should but still looks like there's more to come and today could be the day at a big price.

RACE 6 - Shergar Cup Sprint 4.00pm

Shaheen

Impressive winner of competitive race on Monday and seen quickly again here. Small penalty but was a cosy winner at Windsor.

Roundhay Park

Has a bit to find with the favourite but in flying form and the yard are having a good time of things.
