The £200,000 Markel
Insurance Nassau Stakes (3.15pm) is the Group One highlight on the fifth and
final day of Glorious Goodwood, Saturday, August 3, and has 18 fillies and
mares going forward after today's confirmation stage.
Newmarket trainer Sir
Michael Stoute has won the Markel Insurance Nassau Stakes six times, including
with the Cheveley Park Stud-owned Russian Rhythm in 2003.
The same owner/trainer
combination is responsible this year for Integral who is set to make
just her third appearance in the prestigious contest, which is run over just
short of 10 furlongs.
Integral made her debut at
Goodwood on May 31, taking a mile maiden in facile fashion before stepping up
to Listed level for the mile Coral Distaff at Sandown on July 6, when she was
similarly impressive. The three-year-old daughter of Dalakhani is out of Echelon,
who won the Group Two Celebration Mile at Goodwood in 2007.
Chris Richardson, managing
director of Cheveley Park Stud, said today: "Everything has been fine with
Integral and at the moment she is an intended runner in the Nassau Stakes.
Obviously, it is a very big step up in class and competition, but there aren't
too many other options so we thought we might definitely learn something about
her by running her at Goodwood.
"We would expect her
to get the trip. She was certainly doing her best work in the final stages and
going through horses at the end of her race at Sandown, so you'd expect her to
hopefully handle the step up to 10 furlongs.
"She should be fine
with the ground.There is rain forecast but the ground is good at the moment. It
dries quickly at Goodwood so by the time we get to the end of next week it may
be baking again. We will obviously monitor the ground but at the moment Sir
Michael is very happy with her.
"We are optimistic.
We threw her slightly in at the deep end in the Listed race at Sandown and she
did it. I think Ryan (Moore) has been impressed with her so we'll see what
happens."
Also confirmed for the
Markel Insurance Nassau Stakes are Sky Lantern (Richard Hannon), winner
of both the QIPCO 1000 Guineas and the Coronation Stakes this season as well as
Just The Judge (Charlie Hills), who was runner-up to Sky Lantern at
Newmarket before taking the Irish 1,000 Guineas and then finding Sky Lantern
too good again over a mile when third at Royal Ascot.
Classic form is also
represented by the Ralph Beckett-trained duo of Talent and Secret
Gesture, the first two fillies home in the 12-furlong Investec Oaks.
The older generation
includes Godolphin's Sajjhaa (Saeed bin Suroor), a dual Group
One winner in Dubai this
year, and Ambivalent (Roger Varian), who recorded the biggest success of
her career last time out in the Group One Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh,
Ireland.
Saturday's card at
Goodwood also features one of the season's most famous handicaps, the £100,000 Robins
Farm Racing Stewards' Cup (3.50pm) over six furlongs. The two most recent
winners Hoof It (2011) and Hawkeyethenoo (2012) feature among the
103 going forward along with Tropics, who could bid for a quick
follow-up success after landing a valuable contest at York on Saturday. There
is a maximum field of 28 for the Robins Farm Racing Stewards' Cup. Horses that
fail to make the cut are eligible for the opening Robins Farm Racing Stewards'
Sprint Handicap (2.05pm).
Also in Saturday's card
are the RAC Handicap (2.40pm, 24 entries), the NatWest Ahead For Business EBF
Maiden (4.25pm, 29 entries), the Fairmont Nursery (5.00pm, 36 entries) and the
concluding Telegraph Handicap (5.35pm, 21 entries).

of rain on Saturday all evaporated on Sunday after a breezy and dry day.
