EXPECT BIG PRICES AT GOODWOOD: Daqman likes to find big handicap winners at big BETDAQ prices and his research into the Glorious Goodwood results suggests plenty of opportunities this week on all five days.
THREE BETS TODAY: On Goodwood eve, he hopes to fill his wallet from bets at Ayr, Windsor and Southwell.

GOLDIE GREY LOOKS SET
⭕ 3.00 Ayr Every Ayr race-day has become a tribute to Jim Goldie ever since he broke the Group-1 barrier at Royal Ascot in June.
This 7f handicap is a race in which he landed a gamble in 2021 and, by running two in it this afternoon, Jim makes it clear he’d love to win it again.
Kelpie Grey completed a hat-trick last Spring when scoring over the Ayr CD off 78.
After a late return this year, second three weeks back in a class 3 here, he drops down a grade and looks poised under Danny Tudhope off 80.
Abduction is another Goldie CD winner, now on the same mark as that Ayr success in 2023 but potentially helped by a 7lb allowance for Shay Farmer.
Silent Move’s form in class 4 since being gelded is 11 (yes, 2-2). Boy Douglas was in form over a mile a week ago but has never scored at 7f.
COWBOY GUNS BLAZING
⭕ 7.05 Windsor Richard Spenser landed three winners out of 10 last week capped by his stable triumph with Two Tribes in the £77,000 International handicap at Ascot on Sunday.
Once upon a time he thought he had a Commonwealth Cup hope in Space Cowboy, trial winner in the AW championships and third in the final before having to be gelded.
The Kodi Bear top-rated here, he finally returns as a six-year-old, clearly meaning business in cheekpieces first time.
EVE OF GOODWOOD SILVER
⭕ 7.25 Southwell Eve Johnson Houghton had three winners in three days at the start of last week and a Silver Trumpet hat-trick last Spring included success here at Southwell.
You could argue that the front-running grey performed even better on today’s course in March, beaten only a couple of lengths in class 3 off 7lb higher.
My theory of improvement was boosted at Newbury, when he gave 2lb to a length winner, with the third horse having just scored at Doncaster to reach £91k in earnings.
