Field Of Gold is set to be reassessed in the next few days as he continues his recovery from the bacterial infection that ruled him out of Saturday's G1 Lockinge Stakes, with Barry Mahon, Juddmonte's European racing manager, adding that "it could be tight enough" for the son of Kingman to make Royal Ascot. Trained by John and Thady Gosden, Field Of Gold was a dual Group 1 winner last year, having followed a runner-up finish in the 2,000 Guineas with impressive victories in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St...

Publish, ruled out of the 2000 Guineas due to lameness, has had successful surgery and could return in the autumn, according to trainer John Gosden.

The Gosdens will still be keenly observing the result, however, even though none of the remaining trainers are within shouting distance of John Gosden's record seven wins. With Publish's defection and G1 2000 Guineas implications on the line, step forward Pacific Avenue (Dubawi) into poll position. Tagged a 'TDN Rising Star', the Godolphin...
