So, to the tips......
HAYDOCK 1:50 - BETFRED 'PLAY TODAY'S £1 1/2 MILLION SCOOP6' NURSERY HANDICAP (Class 2) - 5f
PATIENCE ALEXANDER (15/8 - Ladbrokes) - Good third last time out in Group company - 3/21 in Albany Stakes at Ascot. Beat Tiggy Wiggy previous start in Listed race at Ascot. Every chance of beating off the male opposition here.
HAYDOCK 2:20 - BETFRED GOALS GALORE HANDICAP (Class 2) - 1m 2f 95y
LLANARMON LAD - EW (9/1 - BETVICTOR) - In very good form. Stepped back up to 10f after 3/11 last time out over 8f at Newmarket. 9 career starts; 3 wins 5 placed. By high class sprint 2 year old Red Clubs - from fast family.
HAYDOCK 2:55 - BETFRED ROSE OF LANCASTER STAKES (Group 3) (Class 1) - 1m 2f 95y
VANCOUVERITE (5/1 - Paddy Power (best odds guaranteed)) - Unlucky not to take victory last time out - a shoulder behind Amralah in the Doombar Stakes at Newbury - finshed the race well. Came second in G1 at Meydan in March. 3 from 5 at distance - 2 from 4 on the going.
Nabucco (8/1 - Coral) could be a big danger, especially if there's any rain about.
HAYDOCK 3:25 - BETFRED TV/EBF STALLIONS DICK HERN FILLIES' STAKES (Listed) (Class 1) - 1m
TOKEN OF LOVE - EW (9/1 Coral) - Steps up to Listed company, but in good form, and open to improvement, and every chance of adding to trainer, William Haggas's, impressive record at the course, and over recent weeks.
Enjoy a great days racing, and good luck with the tips

As promised the free tips for Friday's action are here. The ones selected are from today's members tips. I've just selected a couple, from today's 5 member tips, as members pay a subscription fee for these tips (and hopefully, they aren't non-runners, as I haven't ha chance to check!). To sign up as a member, and receive daily tips emailed directly to you, and be in with the chance of winning some great, free prizes, just check the terms and conditions page, and follow the subscription link to PayPal.

BRIGHTON 3:40 - HARRY BLOOM MEMORIAL HANDICAP (Class 4) - 1m 1f 209y
MUHAWALAH (11/4 - BETVICTOR) just gets the vote ahead of hat-trick chasing Serene Grae. The Roger Varian-trained filly won last time out, in Class 5 maiden at Carlisle, over 8f (carried head high and a bit awkward final furlong, but soon in command) - ran at good pace. Previous two starts, only attempts at 10f, and second in both. Varian, and jockey Frederik Tylicki have an impressive 42% strike rate, with 3 year olds, when teamed together in 2014.
MUSSELBURGH 3:30 - JONATHON JOYCE STORM ID HANDICAP (Class 4) - 7f 30y
RED PIKE (11/4 - LADBROKES) has been in very good form in 2014, and gets the vote here. 4 starts (2014) 2 wins, 2 placed. Latest start, first over 7f, came 3/12 in Class 4 handicap at Newmarket - only 3/4 lengths behind- just hung right a little, inside final furlong.
Just Paul (7/1 - CORAL) could be the main danger, and is a 3 times course-distance winner (3 from 5 at the course). Drops back in Class here, after latest start 6/12 in Class 3 handicap at Newcastle.

CRAFTMANSHIP (9/2 - BET365) has been in best form on last two starts, coming 3/14, just 3/4 lengths behind latest, and winning previous. Came 3/12 last year as a 2 year old, in only start at this course to-date.
7:30 - Royal Berkshire Odd Fellows Handicap Class 4 - 6f

Glorious Goodwood Tips - Day 5
Another great day of racing in-store, and my member tips were sent out last night. I've decided to post them on here today, as I've not had chance to post my free tips from Doncaster. The prices were correct at time of sending to members, and will have changed, of course. As has the first race at 2:05 in terms of runners, with loads of non-runners!
2:05 - 32REDSport.com Handicap Class 2 - 6f
28 runners set to compete, so as expected, not the easiest to pick a winner. The best I can find, and my pick, is TATLISU (6/1 - Paddy Power), who's been back to 6f of late, and been in good form- 2/13 latest in Class 2 at Hamilton, and 1/12 previous start, beating SKYBET DASH winner Muthmir by a neck. Both run at good pace. By Red Clubs; from fast family. Ryan Moore is back aboard, and has been in good form of late.
The main danger for me, and maybe worth an each-way bet, is Stepping Out (10/1 - BET365), who's on a hat-trick here. Made all last time out, and in command towards finish. A step up in Class, but every chance of coming close. Course-distance winner. Excellent record at the 6f trip with 3 wins, 1 placed in 4 runs.
Another danger would be the 4x course winner Slip Sliding Away (25/1 - William Hill). Trainer Peter Hedges has a 35% strike rate at the course.
2:40 - Jaguar Stakes Handicap Class 2 - 1m 4f
Another big field, and a few with every chance, but it's an each-way bet on BLACK SHADOW (16/1 - Ladbrokes) that's advised. 3 Flat turf starts, 1 win, 2 second. The win was course win over 11f. Latest run was 2 lengths behind What About Carlo at Epsom (Class 2 - Good). Trip should be ideal. By 5x Group 1 winner New Approach.
Dangers in the race come from last time out winner (Thursday) on the course, Rainbow Rock (9/2 - Ladbrokes). Stepped up in trip after last two runs at 10f. Definitely on the up and every chance. Course-distance winner Oasis Fantasy (9/1 - Paddy Power) came 2/10 latest run, in Class 2 handicap at Ascot, and Richard Hughes takes over as jockey. Second Step is open to further progression, and can't be ruled out.
3:15 - Markel Insurance Nassau Stakes (Group 1) Cl1 - 1m 1f 192y
I can't see past top pedigree, VENUS DE MILO (11/4 - Paddy Power) for this one. Back to form latest two starts, 1/7 (G3), and 2/8 (G1), in Ireland. 4 wins and 3 seconds from 9 starts. 2 G3 wins, 3 G1 seconds.
Next best for me is Sultanina (9/2 - 888.sport), who should appreciate the step back down to 10f, with the fast ground no issue, though yet to race on g-f.
3:50 - 32RED CUP (Stewards' Cup) Handicap - 6f
I've said it a few times, and I'll say it again, another tough one to call in a wide open race! SKYBET Dash winner, MUTHMIR (11/2 - Coral) just gets the vote, and can make it two wins in a week here.
Dangers come from course-distance winner Intrinsic (15/2 - William Hill), who can progress further on the faster ground. Another course-distance winner, Joey's Destiny (25/1 - Ladbrokes) may also be worth an each-way bet at the price, and has been decent in some bigger fields in the past.
2:05 - 32REDSport.com Handicap Class 2 - 6f

3:50 - 32RED CUP (Stewards' Cup) Handicap - 6f
I've said it a few times, and I'll say it again, another tough one to call in a wide open race! SKYBET Dash winner, MUTHMIR (11/2 - Coral) just gets the vote, and can make it two wins in a week here.
Dangers come from course-distance winner Intrinsic (15/2 - William Hill), who can progress further on the faster ground. Another course-distance winner, Joey's Destiny (25/1 - Ladbrokes) may also be worth an each-way bet at the price, and has been decent in some bigger fields in the past.
