A busy Tuesday with Glorious Goodwood and the Galway Festival taking centre stage and here are the thoughts of our Long Shot tipster.
Goodwood

Real Gain showed some very progressive form in handicap company last season so much so that he was pitched into group 3 class for his final run of the year. Given a gelding operation over the winter he ran a good race at Newbury in April on his reappearance run finishing 10th of 21. He was unable to build on that when next seen in the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot where he finished well beaten. However it might be a bit too early to be writing Real Gain off, now returned to 1m2f and down to a mark of 99 this lightly raced sort could just be the type to bounce back to form. Real Gain rates a 4 star each way Pick.
