Thursday's free racing tips: top bets for Goodwood and Galway

Handicappers' nap

Sinjaari (1.50 Goodwood)

Progressive colt who can be forgiven a below-par run at Royal Ascot when enduring a wide trip. On a good mark and can get back on track.

Eyecatcher

Vividly (4.45 Goodwood)

Given a nice introduction at Newbury last month, keeping on well for third without being asked for everything. She can get off the mark over this extra furlong.

Irish Angle

Moon Over Germany (2.35 Galway)

A ten-length winner at Aintree in April and well treated in the weights in today's Grade 3 novice chase. Gets the vote to score under Davy Russell.
Tony O'Hehir

Ace Tipster

Forest Of Dean (1.50 Goodwood)

Respectable fourth in a deep handicap that has worked out well and 7lb better off with runner-up Sinjaari. Expected to improve in this valuable contest.
Paul Kealy

Speed Figures

Constantinople (3.00 Goodwood)

Finished an honourable second under topweight in a Royal Ascot handicap and deserved compensation looks on the cards.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Celsius (5.20 Goodwood)

Has some quirks but he's talented, still capable of better and looks the type to relish the strong pace this big-field event is set to provide.

Dark horse

Rawdaa (3.35 Goodwood)

Placed on all three starts this season, including when just beaten by Lah Ti Dar at York. Her trainer Sir Michael Stoute has won this race eight times.
Sam Hardy

Must-have stat of the day

The Hannon stable has won six of the last 11 Richmond Stakes and backing all of their runners who were sent off at 5-1 or shorter would have resulted in six wins and a second from just eight contenders (+£10.35 to £1 stakes). Threat looks sure to fit that trend at 2.25.
