Aeronautic (Goodwood, 13.55) – 1pt win @ 13/2 (bet365)
Goodie Two Shoes (Goodwood, 14.30) – 1pt win @ 4/1 (William Hill)
Circe (Goodwood, 15.05) – 0.5pt each-way @ 11/1 (bet365)
Headmaster (Goodwood, 15.45) – 0.5pt each-way @ 14/1 (BetVictor)
Isaac Newton (Goodwood, 16.20) – 1pt win @ Evens (Ladbrokes)
Indalo (Goodwood, 16.55) – 0.5pt each-way @ 11/1 (William Hill)
The 2025 edition of Glorious Goodwood wraps on Saturday with a seven-race card, headlined by the cavalry charge that is the prestigious Stewards' Cup.
Racing correspondent Jonathan Doidge aims to finish Goodwood with a flourish and has been through the best betting sites when making a selection for each and every race on day five.
Coral Glorious Stakes tips (13.20)
This looks a trappy contest and the safest option, albeit at short odds, looks like last year's winner Al Aasy. However, he's not in the form he was coming into this last year and this is no done deal.
Stablemate Candleford got back on track with a win at Beverley last time and although he is 3lb worse off with the favourite compared to if this were a handicap, he can't be ruled out.
Similarly, Meydaan has a touch of class and is only 1lb 'wrong' with the market leader, but again, he's not been at his best this season, so the suggestion is to side with the favourite in the Goodwood odds to small stakes.
Coral Summer Handicap tips (13.55)
Another open contest where a maximum field of 14 has been declared. The Johnstons, Charlie and Mark have farmed this race, winning half of the last 10 renewals but they are not represented this time.
Again, several can have serious cases made, including Sam Hawkens, who is clearly an improver and may well have more to come going up in trip again. However, we'll take the field on with the Irish raider, Aeronautic.
Joseph O'Brien's charge is another whose stock is on the rise. He's already won over 1m5f and was stepped up to this distance at Royal Ascot last time, when he ran really well to finish under four lengths behind French Master in fifth place.
He was a little too keen for comfort there, and if he can settle better, then that could be the route to further success in this contest.
Goodwood tip 2: Aeronautic (Goodwood, 13.55) – 1pt win @ 13/2 (bet365)
Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes tips (14.30)
Last year's winner Term Of Endearment is much respected. He won this for Henry de Bromhead and has since switched to William Haggas, for whom he is yet to win in three starts this season.
One of his three starts was not far short of last year's winning effort here, but he's been a few pounds below that either side. The return here could galvanise him to greater heights but we'll side with Joseph O'Brien's Goodie Two Shoes to make it a quickfire double on the card.
She's a mare on the upgrade in 2025, having won successive Listed races at Gowran Park (1m6f, good) and Down Royal (2m, good), before stepping up successfully to Group 3 company at Fairyhouse (1m6f, good).
She looks ready for the step up again to Group 2 level and she is taken on horse racing betting sites to continue her excellent run of form with another win.
Goodwood tip 3: Goodie Two Shoes (Goodwood, 14.30) – 1pt win @ 4/1 (William Hill)
Stewards' Cup tips (15.05)
As ever, this looks devilishly difficult and includes last year's winner Get It and dual previous winner, Commanche Falls. Favourites have won just three of the last 10 renewals and the other seven winners have all been double-figure prices.
Get It can again have a pretty strong case made and I wouldn't put off anyone set on backing him to follow up, as he's improved and is 6lb higher this time, reflecting that.
However, another on an upward trajectory is Circe. Ryan Moore has been booked for the mount on the Richard Hannon-trained filly and the last time he rode her, she won. We should take the hint.
She goes well on a sound surface and comes here on the back of a career-best effort, when racing prominently before scoring at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month. There looks to be some value in her price on betting apps and she looks a serious each-way player and with some luck in running, might prove good enough to win it.
Goodwood tip 4: Circe (Goodwood, 15.05) – 0.5pt each-way @ 11/1 (bet365)
Whispering Angel Handicap tips (15.45)
Yet another of the many wide open looking handicaps this week, this time over 7f and there are plenty in with chances.
There's a really interesting each-way bet for us here in Headmaster. William Haggas knows the type he needs to win this contest, having trained the winner in 2017. His Dubawi gelding has not been out of the first two in three starts over 7f-1m, winning the most recent one, a Haydock novice event, decisively.
That looks good form in context. At a big price, we don't have to play to high stakes and he looks worth a tentative each-way play.
Goodwood tip 5: Headmaster (Goodwood, 15.45) – 0.5pt each-way @ 14/1 (BetVictor)
British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes tips (16.20)
Lots of unknowns here with the vast majority of the field having had only one start, so there could be any number of significant improvers and the market could provide some serious clues.
Without that knowledge, we'll have to go on the pick of the form so far and that is very much with the likely favourite, Isaac Newton. There clearly can't have been a huge amount expected of the Camelot colt on his recent debut at the Curragh, as he was merely nibbled at from 12/1 in to 11/1.
Under his claimer, he pushed the winner all the way to the line and just failed to score.
That was a very promising effort and provided this doesn't come too soon, he could take plenty of beating.
Goodwood tip 6: Isaac Newton (Goodwood, 16.20) – 1pt win @ Evens (Ladbrokes)
Coral Golden Rewards Shaker Handicap tips (16.55)
The totally unexposed Gladius looks to have the layers running scared in the 'lucky last' and no chances are being taken by them on the Andrew Balding-trained three-year-old.
He could prove good enough but at a double-figure price, Indalo is an improving gelding and is another who should be thereabouts. Roger Varian's grey has won three of his seven starts but remains unexposed after raising the bar again with a comfortable success at Sandown (1m, good) a few days ago.
He's gone up 5lb for that and is back up to a trip that he is also unexposed over, having finished a good second at Haydock on his only previous try over 1m1f. We'll side with him.

Injured Wallaroos pair and 15 World Cup debutants included in Australia squad
Injured sevens star Charlotte Caslick has been included in the Wallaroos squad for the Women's Rugby World Cup in England, while Ashley Marsters and Trilleen Pomare have been named for their third campaign. The world No 8 Australians will open their tournament in Salford on 23 August (9pm AEST) as they look to improve on a quarter-final showing at the last tournament in 2021. Coach Jo Yapp named a 32-player squad on Monday, which includes 15 World Cup debutants. Defending Super Rugby Women's champions the NSW Waratahs will be represented by 13 players, while the ACT Brumbies have eight representatives, Queensland six, with five from Western Force. Olympic gold medal winner Caslick switched from sevens this year with the ambition of playing in her first 15-a-side World Cup, but suffered a syndesmosis injury last month that required surgery. However, she and fellow sevens convert Tia Hinds were included, along with captain Siokapesi Palu, who missed the recent two Test matches against Wales with a foot injury. It is unclear when the injured pair will be available to play. Teenage sensation Waiaria Ellis, 17, could become the youngest Wallaroo to play at a World Cup after being included in the youthful squad, which has an average age of 26. Veterans Marsters and Pomare, who both recently passed 40 Test appearances, will add some much-needed experience in their third tournament. Uncapped Reds winger Caitlin Urwin has been included after impressing for Australia A. However, there was no room for out-of-favour Waratahs playmaker Arabella McKenzie. Lock Annabelle Codey is set to follow in her father David Codey's footsteps in playing at a World Cup, while Katalina Amosa, the sister of Wallaby Brandon Paenga-Amosa, is one of three hookers named. 'We are very proud of the squad and the journey the players and staff have been on for the past two years to get to this point,' said Yapp, who will step away from the role after the tournament.

A World Cup is the pinnacle event in sport, and women's rugby will showcase that in England later this month. 'We are ready to perform on the global stage and thank everyone who is supporting us on and off the field.' The tournament is set to be the biggest-ever women's rugby event, with more than 300,000 tickets sold. Following Samoa, the Wallaroos take on USA on 31 August and top-ranked tournament hosts England on 6 September to complete their pool matches. Australia squad: Katalina Amosa, Bree-Anna Browne, Charlotte Caslick, Emily Chancellor, Annabelle Codey, Lori Cramer, Piper Duck, Waiaria Ellis, Ashley Fernandez, Georgina Friedrichs, Caitlyn Halse, Tia Hinds, Brianna Hoy, Asoiva Karpani, Lydia Kavoa, Kaitlan Leaney, Michaela Leonard, Ashley Marsters, Desiree Miller, Faitala Moleka, Layne Morgan, Tania Naden, Bridie O'Gorman, Siokapesi Palu, Faliki Pohiva, Trilleen Pomare, Cecilia Smith, Maya Stewart, Adiana Talakai, Tabua Tuinakauvadra, Caitlin Urwin, Samantha Wood

Australia select Caslick for women's World Cup despite ankle injury
SYDNEY, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Olympic sevens champion Charlotte Caslick was named in Australia's squad for the 10th women's Rugby World Cup on Monday despite being under an injury cloud after having surgery on her ankle last month. The fullback is one of three players who will travel to England for the August 22 - September 27 tournament under an injury cloud along with Brianna Hoy and Siokapesi Palu. Prop Hoy is working her way back from knee surgery and has not played for Australia so far this year, while skipper Palu, who plays in the back row or centres, has been struggling with a foot injury. The eighth-ranked Wallaroos, whose best finish at the World Cup was a run to the semi-finals in 2010, completed their preparations for the tournament with a record 36-5 win over Wales last Friday. Nearly half of coach Jo Yapp's 32-woman squad will be competing at their first World Cup but 17 players are returning after taking part in the 2022 tournament in New Zealand, where they were knocked out in the quarter-finals by England. Among the World Cup debutants are 18-year-old fullback Caitlyn Halse and 17-year-old outside back Waiaria Ellis, who will be vying to become the youngest Wallaroo to play at a World Cup. "We have a very special group of people within this squad, diverse in culture and a range of ages and levels of experience in the game," Yapp said in a news release. "A World Cup is the pinnacle event in sport and women's rugby will showcase that in England later this month. We are ready to perform on the global stage and thank everyone who is supporting us on and off the field." Australia first offered part-time contracts to their women's players two years ago and have been working towards fulltime deals for regular internationals. The Wallaroos kick off their campaign against Samoa in Manchester on August 23 and also play the United States and top-ranked hosts England in a tough Pool A. Squad: Forwards - Katalina Amosa, Bree-Anna Browne, Adiana Talakai, Faliki Pohiva, Emily Chancellor, Annabelle Codey, Piper Duck, Ashley Fernandez, Brianna Hoy, Asoiva Karpani, Lydia Kavoa, Kaitlan Leaney, Michaela Leonard, Ashley Marsters, Tania Naden, Bridie O'Gorman, Siokapesi Palu, Tabua Tuinakauvadra. Backs - Charlotte Caslick, Desiree Miller, Faitala Moleka, Waiaria Ellis, Caitlin Urwin, Samantha Wood, Georgina Friedrichs, Caitlyn Halse, Tia Hinds, Layne Morgan, Trilleen Pomare, Cecilia Smith, Maya Stewart.

Harry Brook century before dramatic dismissal takes England in sight of win
Facing a towering target of 374, the Yorkshire pair came together under pressure on 106 for three and produced a staggeringly dominant partnership that carried them to 317 for four at tea. A demoralised India were on the verge of throwing in the towel when Brook swung so hard looking for a third successive boundary off Akash Deep that he sent his bat spiralling in the air as a simple catch looped to mid-off. Akash Deep breaks the partnership at last! What a knock from Harry Brook, 111 from 98 deliveries 👏 — Sky Sports Cricket (@SkyCricket) August 3, 2025 He departed for 111 but Root was looking imperious as he reached the break on 98 not out alongside Jacob Bethell. Another 57 runs will seal a 3-1 home win and ensure the newly-minted Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy heads to Lord's. Mohammed Siraj botched a chance to change the course of the match when Brook skied a catch to fine-leg with just 19 to his name but, although he held the chance, the seamer stepped on the boundary then carried the ball over for six. England fans celebrated deliriously as a stunned Siraj realised what he had done, while Brook never looked back. He completed his 10th Test hundred in just 91 balls, his first in a fourth-innings pursuit, and hit the lion's share in a stand of 195. Should the hosts get over the line it will complete a hat-trick of stunning pursuits against India in the past three years, following their record 378 for three at Edgbaston in 2022 and 373 for five at Headingley in the first match of this series. They would also set a massive new record chase at Surrey's home, smashing the previous best of 263 set in 1902. Siraj had snatched the momentum with the last act on Saturday evening, bowling Zak Crawley with a clinical yorker, India made a promising start by removing Ben Duckett (54) and Ollie Pope (27) in the morning session. Duckett converted his overnight 34 into a fourth half-century of the series but played and missed repeatedly as he struggled against Siraj, finally nicking Prasidh Krishna to second slip. Krishna, gamely filling the considerable boots of the rested Jasprit Bumrah, came desperately close to pinning Root lbw for just three but saw his huge appeal rejected. Ball-tracking showed it was clipping leg stump, but it would not have been enough to overturn the decision. After an hour's play England had scraped together 37 runs, briefly accelerating as Pope hit three fours in an over off Krishna including one classy on-drive. But that was the end of a cameo rather than the start of something more substantial, Siraj charging in and nailing him in front of the stumps. At 106 for three, India had taken control but the arrival of Brook brought a screeching gear shift. He went for all-out aggression, at one stage lashing 27 runs in eight balls. That included a crunch through midwicket and a lavish six over cover off Deep before his near miss at fine-leg, risking his wicket but picking up six more for his efforts. Siraj looked mortified, with the English fans revelling in his anguish. Krishna, meanwhile, had to quietly shelve the celebrations he had already started to perform. The wheels fell off India's wagon in the afternoon, as a combination of defensive fields, passive captaincy and tired bodies left them short of answers. Brook and Root ruthlessly milked the situation, scoring a steady stream of ones and twos and waiting for the chance to hit fours. A ragged full toss from Ravindra Jadeja and a woeful misfield from Deep, who kicked the ball over the ropes after declining to use his hands, suggested the game was up as the required runs dropped to double figures. Brook looked to speed up after reaching a well-deserved hundred, lashing Deep for back-to-back fours before departing as his bat flew out of his hands. Bethell was lucky to escape a caught-and-bowled on one, Deep slipping as he turned, but Root finished the session in full control as he moved within two of his century.
