Day 4 of the Glorious Goodwood festival is one of only two days at the meeting without a top-tier Group 1 contest. However, that absence doesn’t detract too much from another intriguing card featuring the Group 3 Bonhams Thoroughbred Stakes and Group 2 King George Qatar Stakes. Elsewhere, we have an informative juvenile contest and a quartet of competitive handicaps.
Continuing our trends series, it is the handicaps to which we turn our attention here, as we look back at the past ten years of results to zero on the best trend fits.
