Glorious Goodwood tips: Can Main Desire justify each-way angle?

Betting preview and tips for Goodwood day four

The penultimate day at Glorious Goodwood sees the speed demons take centre stage in the 5f King George Qatar Stakes.

Battaash is the overwhelming favourite to land the Group 1 prize. But the Coral News Team has delved deep to uncover an intriguing each-way angle.

And with three further group contests and a couple of difficult looking handicap puzzles on the seven-race card, it’s shaping up to be another exciting afternoon on the West Sussex Downs.

Each-way angle in the King George

It’s difficult to see past super sprinter Battaash in the feature race of the day. So it’s the each-way angle that grabs our attention. And we think it could be worth giving Michael Bell’s filly Main Desire another poke at a big price.

The three-year-old failed to get going in the Commonwealth Cup at Ascot last time out, so a return to 5f makes sense for the daughter of High Chaparral. A kind draw will aid her chances, while her unbeaten record over the trip also gives reason for confidence.

This is a much tougher assignment, but it’s one the Westow Stakes winner might just be able to handle against a field which lacks genuine top-level quality outside of Battaash.

Threading can pull it together

All six contenders in the Bonhams Thoroughbreds Stakes will have realistic ambitions of landing the Group 3 pot. But it’s Threading who is taken to weave through her rivals and do the business for Mark Johnston.
