It is is set to be a bumper day at Goodwood with three Group races to enjoy. The headline act is without question the Group 1 Nassau Stakes (3.35) as Hermosa attempts to rediscover the winning formula after her defeat at Royal Ascot.

The Richmond Stakes (2.25) and the Gordon Stakes (3.00) are the starters on what is set to be a top-class day on the South Downs.

All the big Irish yards are represented in the Galway Hurdle (4.55), with Stratford and Nottingham completing the afternoon's offerings.

Two interesting cards from Ffos Las and Epsom keep racing fans satisfied long into the evening.

Final thought

While Hermosa and Mehdaayih could head the market for the Nassau Stakes, punters should pay close attention to the William Haggas-trained Maqsad. She was was hugely impressive when winning the Pretty Polly at Newmarket in May and will appreciate a drop back to a mile and two furlongs after failing to stay in the Derby.
