Top Boy At Goodwood

Top Boy At Goodwood

Top Boy is 7lbs better off with the favourite for a half-length defeat and his form has improved since then.

Double Up heads the betting in the 4.20 Goodwood but taking a direct line with the favourite, there is no way Top Boy should be 12/1 (Sportingbet).

Half a length separated the pair when they last met at Newmarket, but Top Boy is 7lbs better off this afternoon and his form has improved since.

Top Boy was only beaten a head last time and was unlucky the way the race panned out.  The pace was no more than solid and Derek Shaw’s sprinter had to come from behind on a track that suited front-runners.

In defeat, the 5-year-old ran the fastest closing sectional of the race and earned an adjusted speed rating of 80. Racing off a mark of 84, he looks well treated and should get the strong pace he needs from the big field.
