Adam Williams presents his prediction for the Goodwood horse racing event.
Formal is currently the ante-post favourite after winning in the Maiden Fillies' Stakes at Newbury on July 24. Trained by Sir Michael Stoute, she outpaced the favourite, Glistening, by a length and a quarter in her only career start.
Another winner of her debut and only start is Tabiti from Ralph Beckett's stable. She triumphed in the Maiden Fillies' Stakes at Newmarket over the same 7f distance, and she’s our pick to win at 4.50 on Betfred.
On the other hand, Royalty Bay, trained by father-son duo John & Sean Quinn, is an intriguing each-way pick at 7 on Betfred. This filly has won two novice stakes and has already been to Deauville, where she just barely lost to the favourite in the Prix Six Perfections Sky Sports Racing (Group 3).
