4.45pm Goodwood Tips & Betting Preview 31/07/2018

Winning this race twelve months ago by a short-head, EL ASTRONAUTE has excelled this season, putting together a string of brilliant efforts in tough handicaps. He’s not been disgraced in higher grades the last twice, dropping back into handicaps with Jason Watson claiming an invaluable five pounds. John Quinn’s string is in great form and with conditions ideal, he is the one they all have to pass. Poyle Vinnie is extremely consistent and has each-way claims once again alongside Pettochside, who loves it here.
