Re: Newmarket 26/8 500 - Stanley Goodspeed won his maiden over 6f but was subsequently campaigned over further. A return to 6f saw him return to winning ways last time out. He has earned himself a 5lb rise for that effort, which wouldnt concern me due to the impressive nature of the victory. What makes me even more bullish about Stanleys chances is the booking of the amateur jockey Patrick Hills, who rides the horse for the first time. Whilst that would normally put me off, Hills is one of the best amateur jockeys around at the moment, boasting an excellent 18% win strike rate and 37% of his rides have been placed. He takes a useful 7lb's off the horses back which obviously compensates for the 5lb rise. Forecast 7/1 in the RP
