Five horses to follow on Saturday
By Alex Scott
Last Updated: Fri 31 Jul 2026
Johnny Ward, Graham Clark, Andy Stephens (RaceiQ) and Alex Scott share some of their best bets for the action at Galway, Goodwood and Newmarket on Saturday - all live on Racing TV.
1.50 Goodwood: Valedictory
Tipster: Andy Stephens.
Best odds: 11-4.
Valedictory can stay on a roll in a race the yard has won with Trawlerman and Sweet William in recent years.
His Time Index was 8.8 when the meeting average was 5.9 when winning over course and distance in May, and the Cracksman gelding reeled off three successive fast final furlongs when scoring at Newmarket last time.
2.37 Galway: Lips Freedom
Tipster: Johnny Ward.
Best odds: 9-1.
It looks like Lips Freedom has been taken along nicely by Andrew Kinirons, who was worried he was not ready for Killarney – when he won readily – with a view to Galway. He could still have a bit in hand.

3.00 Goodwood: Santorini Star
Tipster: Alex Scott.
Best odds: 11-2.
The likeable Golden Horn mare Santorini Star put in a rare disappointing effort at Royal Ascot but can bounce back to form here against her own sex over a more suitable trip.
William Haggas's five-year-old began the campaign with a stylish win in the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket, doing her best work late on, and took another step forward when running Caballo De Mar to within a short-neck in the Prix Vicomtesse Vigier over just shy of two miles at Longchamp.
Fitted with first-time cheekpieces in a strong Hardwicke Stakes last time, she used up plenty of petrol on the outside of runners and eventually coasted home to finish last.
Though she has a 3lb penalty to carry in this race, she is the only mare towards the top of the market with top notch form on good to firm ground.
The 1m6f is probably her optimum trip and she also won here in good style last season on her only previous visit to the course. She makes strong appeal at her current odds.

3.23 Newmarket: Lion Of Mali
Tipster: Graham Clark.
Best odds: 7-2.
There was little to choose between Lion Of Mali and Sierra Sands when the pair clashed over course and distance last time out, but the former is fancied to turn the tables on this occasion.
The James Fanshawe-trained colt has held his form well all season and is weighted to reverse the placings with Sierra Sands, who will not have the assistance of Ryan Moore on this occasion.
His prominent running style should ensure he gets first run on that rival, and he is taken to make the most of a swing in the weights on ground that will suit.
3.35 Goodwood: Mitbaahy
Tipster: RaceiQ nap of the day (Andy Stephens).
Best odds: 12-1.
Mitbaahy was obliged to play catch up after being last to reach 20mph in the 27-runner Wokingham in June.
However, he came home powerfully to finish fifth and was similarly stong in the closing stages when runner-up at Newbury last time. He is 3lb well in and Jamie Spencer, the last jockey to have won on him, is reunited with him.
