Trainer To Follow - Sir Michael Stoute

Leading British trainer Sir Michael Stoute has two runners at Glorious Goodwood on day four of the meeting with both of them looking to have leading chances.

The first and stronger chance of the two is the Group winner Nostrum who made a pleasing comeback at Newmarket 22 days ago and this looks a perfect next stepping stone.

Stoute's other runner of the afternoon is Nader King who is the favourite in the final event of the day and off a mark of 87 could still be well in on his second handicap start.

The trainer heads into the meeting sporting a strike rate of 21% for the last two weeks, managing to land three winners from his last 14 runners.

Jockey To Follow - Tom Marquand

Already a big race winner this week at Goodwood in the Group One Goodwood Cup, he has a nice book of rides on Friday which makes him the rider to follow.

In the opener he teams up with Hughie Morrison again looking to close in a marathon race again on board the likeable Vino Victrix.

He then links up with Charlie Hills in the Group Three Bonhams Thoroughbred Stakes with Galeron and having ran well in defeat in better races this term he could outrun his odds and grab a place.

Marquand then rides the favourite in the 20 runner Golden Mile with Lattam still looking well handicapped off a mark of 95.

In the feature event of the afternoon the rider jumps on Makarova for Ed Walker in the Group Two King George Qatar Stakes where place claims aren't out the question again.

One of his best chances of the day comes on the old boy Hamish who has been placed perfectly all season and this looks a very winnable race again if in the same form.

Marquand finishes the afternoon in the Coral Handicap on Rathgar for Jack Channon and having course form could see him go well at a big price.
