Top tipster Paul Ferguson looks at Glorious Goodwood and the rest of the action from the month of August
HAVING supplemented her Newmarket and Irish 1,000 Guineas double in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, WINTER is fancied to maintain her winning streak in the Qatar Nassau Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.
Aidan O’Brien’s Galileo filly will be stepping up to beyond a mile for the first time on the first Saturday in August, but her style of racing suggests she really ought to relish the extra couple of furlongs. She was particularly impressive at Ascot last time and Roly Poly – runner-up to her there and at the Curragh in the Irish 1,000 Guineas – franked the form by winning the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket’s July meeting.
The improvement the grey has shown from April has been one of the highlights of the Flat season thus far and she can complete the Group 1 four-timer here.
Looking through the entries for dangers, John Gosden’s pair of Shutter Speed and So Mi Dar stand out. The former looked really good at Newbury and in the Musidora at York, while the latter has clearly had issues, given she has yet to reappear. It would be a tall order to win a race of this nature first time out.
SUSSEX STAKES
Winter also holds an entry in the Sussex Stakes over a mile earlier in the week, but it seems unlikely that she will be asked to take on the colts at this stage and the race is probably best left to Godolphin.
Ribchester is their most likely representative and, while I remained unconvinced after his success in the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury, the four year-old won me over with his stylish victory in the Queen Anne.
