We will be covering a Glorious week in great detail and we have assembled a team of top tipsters to give you their selections each day.

Coral the bookmakers are putting up £100 which the winner from our panel of five tipsters will give to an equine charity of their choice.

Coral’s PR chief Dave Stevens is one of our panel, as is Channel 4 Racing’s betting guru Tanya Stevenson.

Goodwood bosses Adam Waterworth and Alex Eade are having a go as well, as is Observer sports editor Steve Bone.

With huge fields for many races taking shape, it does not look like being an easy week for punters, but we hope our famous five can pick out a winner or two for you.

Join us on this website every morning for selections and then for live coverage from the racecourse later in the day.
