Free horse racing tips for Friday, August 1 at Glorious Goodwood and Newmarket

Handicappers' nap

Dutch Decoy (2.30 Goodwood)

Rejuvenated by the return to his favoured Newmarket July course the last two times, but this gelding also has a good record at Goodwood. Has finished placed in the last two runnings of this race off significantly higher marks, is favourably treated on his last win, and can be involved once more.

Eyecatcher

Participle (7.27 Newmarket)

Ralph Beckett's filly bombed out on her return but caught the eye on her sole start at two, looking unlucky not to get the better of a subsequent Group 2 winner. She's a strong candidate to bounce back for her in-form yard.

The Punt nap

Sheradann (1.20 Goodwood)

Has shaped as though he would be suited by a marathon trip on his last two starts and looks well handicapped on the pick of his form. He has conditions to suit.

Speed figures

Dutch Decoy (2.30 Goodwood)

In great form and clocked a good time when winning his last outing. Still on a lower mark than when placed in this race for the last two years.

Dark horse

Great Chieftain (2.30 Goodwood)

Won at this meeting last year and, although this is a tougher assignment than his two wins at Newmarket and Haydock earlier in the season, this four-year-old can make the step up in this heritage handicap. Any rain would not harm his chances.
