Luke Morris’ Saturday revolves around the Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood

3.45 Glorious Goodwood – Ninjago

He’s a horse who seems to be really well suited to these big field handicaps because they go hard and he can travel before using his good turn of foot. There looks to be pace everywhere so hopefully there won’t be too much of a bias with the draw and he’s more than capable of going in if he gets a bit of luck.

5.55 Lingfield – Magical Forest

She’s showed a good level of form so far and has had a little break since her last run. Hopefully she’s strengthened up for that and I think she’ll be there or thereabouts.

6.30 Lingfield – Unnoticed

He looks like he’s been a bit disappointing. He’s dropped in grade for this race but you’d still like to see him do a bit more on the track before you were able to be confident in his chances. Hopefully the easier opposition can spark something in him.

7.00 Lingfield – Roundabout Magic

He looks one for nurseries in time. He’s shown some speed in his races so far but there are a couple of others in this race who you would imagine he’d struggle to beat.

7.30 Lingfield – Cliff Face

This is her first start for my boss Sir Mark Prescott and she ran a good race on her last start for another yard. She was unlucky not to win that race last time and, granted a bit more luck than she had that day, I think she should take all the beating.

8.00 Lingfield – Cliffhanger

She ran well in a similar type of race last time only just coming up short. Her trainer Paul Cole has his horses really well at the moment and I’d like to think she can be thereabouts in this.

8.30 Lingfield – Cartwright

He’s taken a little while to come to hand this year after having a few niggly little issues before this. He’ll definitely improve for the run and has been drawn wide, which is not ideal, and whether he’ll be at his best for this I wouldn’t be too sure. I do think he’ll be a nice horse to follow for the rest of the year though.

Cheers,

Luke
