The opening day of Glorious Goodwood features a typically competitive sprint in the shape of the Coral Rewards Shaker Handicap at 4.10pm.
The race is tricky to unpick, but one horse keeps standing out from the field, and that is the likely favourite Lexington Blitz.
The gelding was deadly over course and distance on his penultimate run, travelling powerfully before kicking clear to win by over two lengths.
He then ran with credit to finish third in the Dash on Derby Day, despite softer ground blunting his speed on that occasion.
Back at Goodwood and on better ground, Lexington Blitz looks the leading contender and is well worthy of a play in the World Pool Win market.
Adrestia also holds strong claims and is worth backing in both the Win and Place markets at the 4.10pm contest.
The filly was prolific in 2025, winning the Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes at Royal Ascot, before being narrowly touched off by a nose in this very race.
She struggled at the start of this season, but her handicap mark has slipped as a result, and her most recent run at Ascot was better than the bare result suggests.
She is now three pounds below the mark she ran off in this race last year, and with Oisin Murphy back aboard, the timing looks right to side with her.
With a juicy pool to be expected, playing the pair in a World Pool Quinella alongside Vintage Clarets and Run Boy Run also makes appeal.
Vintage Clarets has gone close on each of his last two starts, giving him obvious place claims in a competitive sprint field.
Run Boy Run also catches the eye, with Toby Moore taking off a handy seven pounds following an eye-catching effort last time out.
Getting any of those four horses into the first two places should result in a very attractive payout from the World Pool Quinella market.
