NO further rain is forecast for the week, the going is Good at Goodwood, and there should be no excuses today for the feature race the Group 1 Sussex Stakes.

Sir Michael Stoute saddled the first two home in the King George on Saturday and his Expert Eye (3.30) did us a favour at Royal Ascot when winning the 7f Jersey Stakes.

The three-year-old looked a future star when winning the Vintage Stakes here 12 months ago but was slow to come to hand this spring and was well beaten in the Guineas. He must prove he stays a mile, but this easy track should suit and at 9/4 with BetVictor I will be disappointed if he doesn’t go close.

The unbeaten three-year-old Without Parole rates a big threat and, of the older horses, I feel Lord Glitters (14/1 with BetVictor) might reverse recent Ascot form with Beat The Bank.

In the opening Goodwood Handicap over two-mile four furlongs, the high-class staying hurdler Lil Rockerfeller (7/2 with BetVictor) is well treated on his best form but he ran poorly on his last couple of start over obstacles and he looks short enough in the market.

Kloud Gate and Coeur De Lion are closely matched on Newbury running last month and must go close but Imphal (1.50) has always struck me as the type who would improve for a thorough test of stamina and at 9/1 with BetVictor he can reward each way support.

The form of BetVictor’s 4/1 favourite Making Miracles’ win at Haydock over one mile six furlongs has not worked particularly well and he is overlooked in the 12f three-year-old handicap in favour of Infrastructure (2.25).

The each way selection is 13/2 with BetVictor and showed improved form when stepped up to this trip when scoring at Salisbury on fast ground last time.

Jamie Spencer is suspended so Luke Morris rides Four White Socks (4.45) for Luca Cumani in the 10f fillies handicap and I hope she can return to winning ways on a track that saw her break her maiden tag last month.

I was disappointed with the selection stepped up to listed company last time, but she is held in some regard by the yard and looks sure to run well, although she can hardly be described as being “thrown-in” from an opening mark of 97.
