Good racing today.  With dry weather conditions, the ground should ride on the fast side at Goodwood.  I think Pennywhistle 2.55 has solid claims of getting her 2019 season going with a win in this fillies handicap.  She has had a ‘tune up’ run 15 days ago at Chelmsford.  She has ground to find on joint top weight Desirous, who beat Pennywhistle into third, when they met on the all weather at Kempton back in October 2018.  Pennywhistle is 7lb better off today, so with a fitness edge, she may just come out on top, but I don’t think there is much between them.  The vibes are strong for Pierre Lapin at Haydock 2.45, he is well related, a half brother to the very useful Harry Angel.  It could be a hot Novice event, Visible Charm from Godolphin has to be respected, and I would not rule Top Buck out either, he ran a good race last time over 5f at Chester.  Todays 6f will be much better for him, and with his racing experience, it is worth a few pounds when racing against two year olds who have not seen a racecourse yet.

More later.
