Gosden planning dual assault on Sun Chariot prize
Grand Dame and Laurel on course for Newmarket.
John and Thady Gosden will be doubly represented in the Group One Royal Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday as both Grand Dame and Laurel are intended runners. Grand Dame is already a Listed winner, taking the Coral Distaff at Sandown in July before coming home the runner up in the Group Three Atalanta Stakes at the same track the following month. The Sun Chariot has been pencilled in her diary since then, with the latter Sandown form given a boost when Mrs Fitzherbert, third for Hughie Morrison, went on to win a French Group Three. The filly will be joined by stablemate Laurel, an unbeaten daughter of Kingman who has taken two novices by convincing margins in her short career so far. Owned and bred by Juddmonte, the bay was a supplementary entry for the race and attempts to emulate her dam, Irish Pretty Polly-winner Promising Lead, in landing a Group One contest.WOW, Laurel looks very impressive and wins eased down in the @UnibetRacing Extra Place Offers Every Day Fillies’ Novice Stakes under Benoit De La Sayette for the farther son pair of John & @thadygosden. 👏 pic.twitter.com/1eLEkqhtUN
