Will Canford triumph in the big race this afternoon?

"Canford Cliffs is attempting to win a race no horse has won twice."

The Follow the Money team serve up a Sussex Stakes special and provide a couple of other promising bets...

We start at Goodwood with today's negative where in the 15:10 Sussex Stakes ran over a mile Canford Cliffs has been easy to back, moving out from [2.36] to [2.60] as he attempts to win a race no horse has won twice. Richard Hannon's four-year-old has won five Group Ones in a row most notably last time out at Ascot beating the mighty Goldikova by a length. That contest six weeks ago may have had a different result if the French mare did not have to carry and extra 2lb, weight advantage could be crucial today, giving 8lb to his unbeaten three-year-old rival.

In the next Goodwood race at 15:45, Four Nations has seen significant support, moving from[11.0] into [7.4]. Amanda Perrett's three-year-old gelding has course form winning back in April over 1mile 2 furlongs. Stepping up to today's distance last time out at Newbury, he achieved a creditable second and looks set to go one better today, running off bottom weight. Considering the trainer's record in this race, victory is a distinct possibility.

At Redcar, in the 16:30, Intiqaal's price has shortened dramatically, from [8.3] into [3.8]. This is the four-year-old gelding's first run for trainer Keith Dalgleish, having previously been with Ed Dunlop. Although not having impressed after an encouraging reappearance, he is lightly-raced and his new trainer able to get the best out of him today.

Canford Cliffs holds off Goldikova in the Queen Anne

Canford Cliffs gained his third straight Royal Ascot win as he beat defending champion Goldikova in the Queen Anne Stakes....

In an eventful betting heat, Goildikova was sent off the [2.3] favourite on Betfair to defend her crown, but when it came down to it Canford Cliffs (BSP of 2.47], who had won the Coventry and the St James's Palace Stakes in the two previous years, proved too strong in this year's curtain raiser.

Both travelled strongly as Cape Blanco and Goldikova's pacemaker battled it out early, but Richard Hughes always had the French mare in his sights (Canford surprisingly touched [6.4] in-running) as they made thier way down the outside and the Richard Hannon-trained colt kept finding when asked, holding off his rival who hit a low of [1.51].
