One of our In The Know tipsters is keen on a Glorious Goodwood handicapper whose form received a major boost on day one

Field Of Gold headlines a top-class day of racing at Glorious Goodwood on Wednesday, and our top tipster Paul Kealy has a strong fancy on the card in the 1m2f fillies' handicap (3.45).

Speaking on the Racing Post's In The Know YouTube show on Tuesday evening, Kealy talked up the chances of Alan King's Wisper, whose form received a major boost on the meeting's opening day.

Kealy said: "Wisper had no luck when last seen at Southwell on the all-weather, when she never got a run and had nowhere to go.

"She's better on turf, and on her penultimate start at Windsor she came scooting past Westridge, who won the first race on day one by a country mile.

"She's a consistent horse and that Windsor run is a really solid piece of form."

Bought for just 5,000gns as a yearling, the seven-year-old was previously trained by Marcus Tregoning and has had four starts for her new trainer. Rossa Ryan takes the ride as Wisper bids for an eighth career win.

Among her rivals on Wednesday are the well supported pair Wonder Star and Music Piece, who head the betting as 9-2 joint-favourites. Wisper is a best-priced 13-2.

More key insight from In The Know

I thought Cloud Cover could go well if handling the return to turf. She has only run twice on this surface but is a really impressive all-weather horse, and if she can handle the track, she could go well.
Tom Segal fancies the James Tate-trained five-year-old in the Oak Tree Stakes (1.55)

She's a little bit overpriced for what she's done. She's a tough little filly who gives her all and handles most surfaces, and there's nothing wrong with her close Group 2 effort in France last month.

Field Of Gold is going to win and I think Henri Matisse will finish second.
Tom Segal is predicting a repeat of the St James's Palace result in the Sussex Stakes (3.05)

Luna Mia is quite interesting as a very expensive breeze-up purchase and her trainer Michael O'Callaghan does well with these buys; she's bred to be a five-furlong filly.
