Provisional plans outlined for Never So Brave and More Thunder
They are currently 4-1 joint-favourites for the Bunbury Cup with the sponsors, but Philip Robinson, Suhail's racing manager, indicated both are likely to step out of handicaps.
'It was nice to see Never So Brave win and he'll probably go to Goodwood for the seven-furlong race, the Lennox,' said Robinson.

'We had to split him and More Thunder up and we very nearly got the double.
'I wouldn't be at all surprised if More Thunder steps up to seven furlongs next time. He was unfortunate and with one more stride he'd have got there.
'He was running over 10 furlongs last season for Sir Michael (Stoute), so we know he'll get further. He'd probably get a mile, but I think William is happy to go over seven for the time being.
'His next race, I would think, would be a Group or a Listed race somewhere, he's very keen to do that if we can.
'We've two nice horses for the rest of the season anyway.'

Field Of Gold headlines 11 possibles for Sussex test
John and Thady Gosden's latest superstar colt has followed an almost identical path to his brilliant sire Kingman so far this season, with a narrow defeat in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket followed by devastating victories in the Irish Guineas and the St James's Palace Stakes. Kingman took on and beat his elders for the first time in the 2014 Sussex Stakes and Field Of Gold is a 4-9 favourite with Coral to follow suit in the hands of William Buick, who is set to deputise in the saddle for the suspended Colin Keane. SUPERSTAR! FIELD OF GOLD ROUTS THEM IN THE ST JAMES'S PALACE STAKES! #RoyalAscot — At The Races (@AtTheRaces) June 17, 2025 The Gosdens and owners Juddmonte have also confirmed Lockinge hero Lead Artist and while he is not expected to take on his stablemate, Juddmonte are set to field a second runner and a potential pacemaker for Field Of Gold in the form of Qirat, who has been supplemented at a cost of £70,000. Field Of Gold is one of five three-year-olds still in contention, with the other four all trained by Aidan O'Brien. The Ballydoyle handler has left in the French Guineas winner Henri Matisse, who was second to Field Of Gold at Royal Ascot, as well as Serengeti, The Lion In Winter and Exactly from his Classic crop, while he could also call upon talented older miler Diego Velazquez.

The potential line-up is completed by Carl Spackler, who was a multiple Grade One winner in America for Chad Brown but was beaten into sixth place on his first start for leading Australian trainer Ciaron Maher in the Queen Anne.
