He is trying to win the Goodwood Cup (3:15) for a record fourth consecutive year. The Frankie Dettori mount cruised to an emphatic 10-length victory at Ascot last month and at 4/7 he's backed to win with similar ease here.

Challenging the king of two-miles is Irish Derby winner Santiago, who is progressing very well and is untested over a longer trip.

MyRacing.com has run through the whole card on the first day and has picked out who it is worth keeping an eye on.

1.10 Angel Power - Form of Chelmsford victory given a huge boost by Award Scheme who bolted up at York since.

1.45 Cape Cavalli - Won with plenty in the tank at York and although up 8lb for that, Cieren Fallon takes off 3lb so still looks well treated.

2.15 Battleground - Looked a Group 1 performer when bolting up in the Chesham at Royal Ascot and favourites have won 12 of the past 20 runnings of this race.

2.45 Space Blues - Comfortable winner of a Group 3 at Longchamp when last seen and the runner-up D'bai came out and won since.

3.15 Stradivarius - Back to his mercurial best when running out a 10-length winner of the Ascot Gold Cup last time and he can create history here again by becoming the first horse to win the Goodwood Cup four times.

3.45 Benny And The Jets - Well drawn and will benefit tactically as the race is loaded with front runners who should set it up for our closer.

4.20 Riffaa Wonder - Hannon stable firing on all cylinders at present and this breeze-up recruit has a beautiful pedigree.

4.55 Tulip Fields - Course and distance winner who was far from disgraced in Listed company last time and can take advantage of this drop in class.
