Thursday's Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood, August 1st
Today’s Horse Racing Tips – August 1st
There are six scheduled meetings in Britain and Ireland on Thursday, with flat fans in for a treat as Glorious Goodwood continues on decent summer ground (providing a compelling mix of Group action and tough handicaps). There are supporting cards from Epsom, Galway, Nottingham and Wolverhampton (AW), with the Irish festival sure to be packed out for their popular mixed card over flat and jumps.

Elmalka
Goodwood 3.35 (UK time)
Roger Varian’s progressive and highly regarded filly was not seen to best effect in the 1m Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, dropped out initially and staying on steadily from an impossible position. She remains open to plenty more improvement on the turf after just three career starts, and this step up in trip to 1m2f promises to suit ideally under regular rider James Doyle.
Odds: 11.00
Today’s Value Angle
Brighton Boy
Goodwood 4.10 (UK time)
Andrew Balding’s improving juvenile created a deep impression when shedding his maiden tag at Chester last month, and can make a winning start in handicaps here from a lenient looking opening mark. He should improve further as he becomes more settled in the early stages, and this step up to seven furlongs should suit ideally under the red hot Oisin Murphy.
Odds: 8.00
