Goodwood, Thirsk and Uttoxeter

There is also flat racing this afternoon at Goodwood and Thirsk, as well as N.H. racing from Uttoxeter. At Goodwood, the listed races for fillies and mares over a mile at 16.40 CET is the main event, and looks quite open with 9 runners. Chantilly Tiffany (Ed Dunlop/ Stephen Donohoe) just holds Nans Joy (Eoghan O´Neill/ Chris Catlin) on their all-weather running last time, but Lady Gloria (James Given/ Tom Queally), a listed winner in France when last seemn in November, and Sweet Lilly (Mick Chnon/ Tadge O´Shea), slightly disappointing in good company in Dubai but whose fourth place in the Nassau Stakes here is the best form in the race, also look dangerous. At Thirsk, the class 2 Hunt Cup, a mile handicap at 16.45, is the main feature. With 15 runners, this is very tricky. Collateral Danage (Tim Easterby/ Duran Fentiman) just beat Capable Guest (Mick Channon/ Robert Winston) at Pontefract at the end of March, but there should be little between them now. Extraterrestrial (Richarc Fahey/ Paul Hanagan) and Regal Parade (David Nicholls/ PJMcDonald), both runners-up last time out, also come into the reckoning. At Uttoxeter, Alan King and Robert Thornton can be the combination to follow. They can win the class 2 handicap hurdle at 16.30 with Sovereign King and the class 2 handicap chase at 17.05 with Kandjar d´Allier.
