4.50pm Goodwood Tips & Betting Preview 04/08/2018

Vale Of Kent posted a career-high RPR when second in a handicap at this meeting on Wednesday. He gets in here off the same mark and warrants respect today, he is coming up against a smart rival though in ZAP. Richard Fahey’s gelding has been in good form recently and ran better than the result suggests when ninth in a competitive handicap at Ascot last week. Running from the same handicap mark he is supported to land the spoils this afternoon, possibly at the expense of Restive Spirit who is making his handicap debut but may find this a sharp enough test back at seven furlongs.
