🏆 CELEBRATION MILE (GROUP 2) | 15:10 GOODWOOD
Final Furlong favourite Zavateri makes a quick return after finishing fifth behind Notable Speech in the City Of York Stakes. He endured a troubled passage at York and also met interference behind Bow Echo and Gstaad on his previous visit to Goodwood. Now dropping in class, stepping back up to a mile and receiving weight from his older rivals, can last year's Richmond Stakes winner finally get his season back on track?
🔥 ATALANTA STAKES (GROUP 3) | 14:50 SANDOWN
One of Saturday's most intriguing races. Unbeaten Secret Of Life puts her perfect record on the line, Moon Target drops significantly in grade and Kon Tiki brings proven Group 3 form. But could Calendar Girl have been underestimated at 5/1? Owen Burrows' filly returned from a lengthy absence to win the Dick Hern Stakes and could have considerably more to offer on her second start of the season.
⭐ SOLARIO STAKES (GROUP 3) | 15:30 SANDOWN
Million-guinea purchase Rock Montreal heads the betting after making a winning debut, while unbeaten Sonic Angel switches to turf.
But the panel also discuss the exciting Breacher, described in glowing terms by trainer William Muir after an impressive debut success. Could the 4/1 available underestimate his potential?
💰 GOODWOOD HANDICAP | 14:00
Addison Grey produced a career-best performance on his first attempt at seven furlongs and remains relatively unexposed at the trip.
Forty Years On returned from a break with an impressive victory and could have more to offer as she bids to defy an 8lb rise.
🏇 SANDOWN HANDICAP | 14:15
Handicap debutant My Love Is King brings form involving Arc contender Maltese Cross and Grand Prix de Paris runner-up Ancient Egypt, while Crown Of Oaks returns to handicap company for an in-form William Haggas team.
💥 GOODWOOD | 14:35
Course specialist Rathgar returns to Goodwood having already won twice at the track and could be dangerous at a big price if returning to his best.
