Despite having found one too good for him in his last four starts, the Aidan O’Brien trained Age Of Aquarius, is the jolly for the Group Two, Goodwood Cup, over two miles on the third day of Glorious Goodwood. The 4 year old is a short as 6/4 with Paddy Power, while his only competition in the market at least, Tactic, trained by John Dunlop is a 5/2 chance.
Despite being such a warm order favourite, Age Of Aquarius will have quite a big field to overcome, which includes some real competition, despite what the market may say. Last seen finishing a very game second behind Rite Of Passage in the Ascot Gold Cup last month, Age Of Aquarius is reported as being in fine form at home with Ballydoyle very confident of a big run in the race.
2010 Goodwood Cup Odds Comparison
Confidence is high too from the John Dunlop stables in Newmarket, they believe, having now won the Group Three Curragh Cup over 1 mile and 6 furlongs, last month, where they had Dermot Weld’s top stayer, Profound Beauty, well beaten, that their 4 year old is ready for the step up in both class and distance. Certainly they have a point, as clearly the Bookmakers are taking no chances hence the 5/2 on offer. It is worth noting that Tactic also won the Listed LLP Grand Cup, also over 1 mile and 6 furlongs at York in May where he had the talented Munsef a massive 15 lengths adrift.

Godolphin clearly have not given up on Kite Wood, who was a distant 7th in the Gold Cup at Ascot. It is clear that this 4 year old is a class horse, his second place in the 2009 St Leger tells us that much, however just because he never stayed the 2½ miles at Ascot, that he will not stay the much shorter two miles in this. The stable are very confident about his chances and punters are advised not to rule him out of things until the betting really warms up before the race. He can be backed currently at 7/1 with PaddyPower.
One horse who will always give punters a run for their money is the Luca Cumani trained, Purple Moon, who was third in the Ascot Gold Cup. It seems that no matter the distance, the class of race or the going, this 7 year old always finds himself in the mix at some point in the race and although he has not seen the winners enclosure since 2007, he might be one for Each Way backers in this. Purple Moon is an 8/1 shot with Paddy Power.com.
