3:35 Goodwood Tips

Rose Ghaiyyath looks a very interesting filly to me. She ran to form on her debut when sixth in the 1000 Guineas, and for a Group 1 maiden that’s not a bad effort. She stays 1m and is bred to stay up to 10f. She runs well on both soft and fast ground and looks the type to improve now she’s stepping up in trip. With Billy Loughnane onboard, she has a decent chance and could easily beat the favourite here.

A winner on her debut in a mile minor event at Yarmouth in October, but she left that form well behind when stepped up to listed company on her second and final start at Newmarket the following month. That was over the same trip, and she was only collared late on to finish a respectable 2nd. She again ran well back there on her return from a six-month break when stepped up to 10f, and she improved on that at Newbury last time when a close 2nd in similar company. Big chance here.

Plaid steps up slightly in class and trip but can do so successfully. Has 2 wins and 2 seconds in 4 races (2 turf, 2 AW). Last time at Hamilton trounced 7 rivals an easy 8 lengths. The handicapper has reacted heavily, but such was the ease of the victory that there could be more to come.

Taking a chance on Light of Paris to go close here. Won at Ascot in a maiden fillies' race over 10f last time out. The step down in trip did help. Should go well again over the same distance today. Trainer John and Thady Gosden have a 15% SR with 3yr-old runners at Goodwood. The yard has a 14% SR in listed races over the last five seasons. Jockey Oisin Murphy is on board this time and he has a 28% SR riding 3yr-old runners for this yard. He has a 20% SR in listed races riding 3yr-old runners. So I think Light of Paris has a good each-way chance in this one.

Went off favourite last time out over what was probably too far. Back down in trip and a much bigger price here.

Della Pace is a 3-year-old filly with one career win who has shown steady progression in her short career. After getting off the mark at Kempton in 2025, she has gone on to hold her form in stronger company, including a solid second in a Class 4 handicap at Wolverhampton and a fourth in Listed company at Goodwood on her latest start. She looks to be improving with experience and remains one to monitor as she steps through the grades.
