Holkham Bay loves Ascot but he can make his mark at Goodwood too in the ultra-competitive Stewards' Cup

While other value picks Raafedd and Endless Victory also finished in the places - beaten just over a length combined.
Here, our top tipster, who's enjoying a hot run of form, picks out two others at eyecatching prices he fancies over the coming weeks.
GOLDEN MILE (Goodwood, Fri Aug 1): Back ARISAIG each-way at 16-1
Glorious Goodwood is just around the corner and ARISAIG looks a solid each-way bet in Friday's Golden Mile.
The Johnston stable has an excellent record in this race with Mark lifting it three times in four years between 2009 and 2012.
He also saddled Maydanny to take it in 2021 and Charlie was second with Dutch Decoy at long odds 12 months ago so they know what it takes to win.
Arisaig has a win over course and distance from a hot handicap at last year's Festival and it looked like that was her level for a while.
That was until she ran an absolute belter in the Coral Challenge at Sandown last time.
She was a little unlucky in that she didn't get the clearest of runs through the pack and that allowed the winner to steal a march.
She came home like a train for second and was gaining with every stride.
There's always a little luck involved thanks to her hold-up style but her two visits to Goodwood have been excellent and 16-1 looks rock solid for her to make the frame again.
She has performed on fast and good ground along with slow on the all-weather so it shouldn't matter too much what the weather does.
STEWARDS' CUP (Goodwood, Sat Aug 2): Back HOLKHAM BAY each-way at 16-1
HOLKHAM BAY is in plenty of notebooks thanks to his barnstorming fourth in the Wokingham when he was beaten less than half a length ploughing a lone furrow up the stands' side.
Plenty will have lost faith in him after a modest effort back at Ascot last weekend when he didn't enjoy dropping back to five furlongs.
The main problem was he was upset by a ridiculously loud PA system near the parade ring before the race and being drawn on the wrong side only made matters worse.
So I'm happy to keep the faith for the Stewards' Cup where hopefully Goodwood will turn the sound down!
The 16s on offer looks a fair price as he'll enjoy the six-furlong test and the ground is likely to suit.
We obviously need some luck with the draw but that's reflected in his odds.

Dubai Future to renew rivalry with Illinois in Goodwood Cup
Previously successful with Kayf Tara (1999), Schiaparelli (2009) and Cavalryman (2014), the veteran trainer will this year saddle a nine-year-old who has split his time between England and Middle East while developing into a seasoned stayer. He missed the entirety of the 2024 season but has been in good form since his return to action in Dubai earlier in the year, with an unplaced run in the Prix Vicomtesse Vigier seemingly just a blip as he got back on track behind Trawlerman and Illinois in last month's two-and-a-half-mile Royal Ascot feature. Saeed bin Suroor runs Dubai Future in the Goodwood Cup (Joe Giddens/PA) 'Dubai Future is in good form, he worked on Thursday and he's in very good form,' said bin Suroor. 'He had to take a little break, but he is doing very well as a nine-year-old, he settled well at Ascot and that was a good run in the Gold Cup. 'He's in very good condition and we're looking forward to getting him out again.' Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore continue to prove irresistible @ChesterRaces as Illinois stamps his class on the Ormonde Stakes — Ashley Iveson (@AshIveson) May 8, 2025 Dubai Future is one of eight runners declared for the showpiece event on day one of the Qatar Goodwood Festival and renews rivalry with Aidan O'Brien's Gold Cup runner-up Illinois, as well as John and Thady Gosden's fourth home Sweet William. O'Brien has a second major contender in the form of runaway Bahrain Trophy winner Scandinavia, while the Gosdens fire a three-pronged assault, with the improving Copper Horse Stakes winner French Master and Military Academy also in the mix. Alan King will be hoping for some ease in the ground for his 2021 Goodwood Cup hero Trueshan, with the field completed by the David Menuisier-trained Sunway, who tests his stamina over two miles for the first time after finishing fourth in the Hardwicke at the Royal meeting.
