William Buick ‘on the list' for vacant Field Of Gold ride
However, with Keane ruled out of the entirety of the Goodwood Festival after picking up a 14-day suspension at Sandown last week for transgressing the whip rules, Field Of Gold will require another change of jockey on July 30.
Juddmonte's European racing manager Barry Mahon insists no final decision will be made until closer to the time, but told the PA news agency on Saturday: 'I'm sure he (Buick) is on the list, but we'll have to wait and see whether Godolphin have a runner in the race and everything else nearer the time.
'All being well we're heading to Goodwood – that is plan A. I saw the horse myself earlier this week, he looked in good shape and seems to be doing well.
'We'll make a decision on who rides him closer to the time.'

Zavateri defies penalty with Vintage performance
Charlie Bishop still had five in front of him with two furlongs to run, but when the gap came he shot through it and while immediately challenged by John and Thady Gosden's Morris Dancer, he stuck his neck out and had his head in the right place on the line. The Ed Walker-trained Do Or Do Not placed yet again in third. Zavateri was tough (PA) 'After Newmarket I didn't know where to go because when you have a 3lb penalty it's damn hard,' said Johnson Houghton. 'It was either come here or wait until Doncaster, but so glad we did. He had to win his race twice after cutting through them like a knife through butter. 'I put him in the Mill Reef this morning, but that's out of the question now as we will head for the Dewhurst with the Jean-Luc Lagardere as a back up. 'He's never had to tough it out at home, but he did today. What a dude he is, just a lovely, lovely horse. 'Dad (Fulke Johnson Houghton) trained (2002 Dewhurst winner) Tout Seul when I was around, and he was brilliant, but this one would be better, I think. There's nowhere to go now before the Dewhurst so we'll have to wait for that.' Zavateri looks the part (PA) Bishop added: 'It's a massive performance with a penalty. We're getting closer, step by step (to thinking about the 2000 Guineas), I don't know how much more racing he'll have this year but the Dewhurst will be where we work back from, after that then I think we can talk about the Guineas. He's seen the seven out extremely well today, headed and rallied and was strong at the line.'

Westridge powers clear in Chesterfield Cup
Trained by John and Thady Gosden and ridden by Billy Loughnane, the four-year-old has been faring well in handicaps recently and started a 6-1 chance in a field of 18. From stall eight he hit his stride quickly and after a prominent passage through the race he took up the lead in the final furlong, then pulling clear of the chasing pack to score by an eventual three and a quarter lengths. 'He enjoyed the space around him today and Billy gave him a lovely ride. It is not easy in a big handicap field but he broke well and made use of him,' said John Gosden. 'He is owned by Glen Manchester, my wife and Nicholas Wrigley, so it's a proper partnership. 'We did have him in the July sales but wisely we chose to take him out three days before the sale, thank God we did that. 'He's a grand horse and he's done well, the handicapper will get him now but to win the Chesterfield Cup is a dream come true because Glen is very much Goodwood orientated. 'It'll have to be York now though I'm not sure which race, Mr Wrigley will demand it. Rachel is just the silent partner, she does whatever they want!'

Glorious Goodwood betting offers: A guide to the best Goodwood offers in 2025
The 2025 Qatar Goodwood Festival begins on 29 July as one of the biggest events of the summer racing calendar takes place at the famed West Sussex racecourse. Alongside Epsom and Royal Ascot, Glorious Goodwood – as it is affectionately known – is a highlight of the flat British racing calendar, with 37 races across five days. And three Group 1 races will be headlining the action, in the form of the Sussex Stakes, the Goodwood Cup and the Nassau Stakes.

Types of Goodwood 2025 Betting Offers Below is a quick rundown of the main types of Goodwood offers that you'll find on the best betting sites.

How to Choose the Best Goodwood Bet Offers With so many Goodwood offers around, it can be difficult to settle on one or two promotions. Nevertheless, there are some factors to keep in mind when choosing between offers: Individual preferences: Make sure to choose an offer – and a betting site – that caters to your individual tastes, whether that be solid sign-up offer or day-to-day offers tailored to your preferred races and horses. Welcome offers: There are dozens of Goodwood welcome offers that are valid for use on the festival, so make sure to pick an offer with favourable terms and good value. Terms and conditions: With regards to terms, make sure they are as unrestrictive as possible. Favourable terms include no maximum win cap, a longer timeframe to take advantage of the offer, a range of available payment methods or the amount needed to make the qualifying wager. Wagering requirements: The best offers carry no wagering requirements, meaning you can withdraw winnings (or re-use them to your preference) without being forced to re-stake them. This is more common on casino sites, but some new betting sites impose them on sportsbook offers. Offer validity: Make sure the offer is valid for a reasonable amount of time – for Goodwood, this may be until the final races of the festival, or the end of the day. Tips For Goodwood Betting There are several things to consider before wagering on any given horse or race: Horses: Take a look at the horse's recent form and how it has performed on that particular course or race in the past. Trainers: Research the particular trainer's record at Goodwood and in certain races. Jockeys: It pays to have a look at the jockey's record and relationship with the horse, as well as their past experience with certain horses and trainers. Weather and course: The weather can play a big part in how a horse performs. Types of bet: Research which sort of bet suits the race and horse. For example, using E/W bets and other special acca bets such as placepots may help to cover your bases. However, bear in mind that some Goodwood betting offers are not eligible with certain bet types. Responsible Gambling Betting should only ever be considered a form of entertainment – it will never be a surefire way to make money. When taking advantage of Glorious Goodwood betting offers, assume you'll lose and therefore, only bet what you can afford. Betting can also be addictive, so please take steps to remain in control of your time and budget. Make sure you use the safer gambling tools offered by betting companies such as deposit limits, reality checks, loss limits, time-outs and self-exclusion. The same applies if you're gambling on casino apps, poker sites, bingo sites or any other type of betting site. If you have gambling-related concerns, then seek independent help. There are several UK charities and institutions that offer support, advice and information, with a few listed below:
