Field Of Gold ‘in great order' for Sussex Stakes test
Prior to those runs he has narrowly denied in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and was the winner of the Craven, a superb run of form that leads neatly into the Sussex and very much makes him the horse to beat. 'He's been a grand horse to train, he's done nothing but thrive this year,' said Gosden. 'We've been pleased with his progress all the way through. 'The Sussex is a different test of a horse. If you've ever walked the track, it's quite a surprise, it runs down into a dip, swings up and around. 'You don't want too big a field and a high draw because you are literally down the hill looking at the horses getting the shortest run round up the hill, so the draw is a big factor there if you get a large field. 'The horse is athletic, he's got great balance, and hopefully he'll handle the track well. It's very different to the round mile of Ascot or the Curragh, that's for sure. 'He's in great order, and we're looking forward to running him. It's very much the obvious race to go to for him.' Field Of Gold could be joined by Lockinge Stakes winner Lead Artist, who proved his suitability for Goodwood when taking the Bonhams Thoroughbred Stakes at this meeting last year and is also owned by the Juddmonte operation. Gosden said: 'He's in great form, we'll see if he runs, no decision on that yet. 'He bowled along there last year and won in good style. We're not sure if they'll both run at this stage, we're a little far off from the race yet.' Gosden, who trains alongside his son, Thady, will have plenty of other headline runners at the Goodwood fixture, with French Master and Sweet William both going for the Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup. Successful in the Copper Horse Handicap at the Royal meeting, French Master will be up in trip and class, but Gosden said: 'We're hopeful he'll run a good race. He did a little breeze with Sweet William, there wasn't much between them, nicely on the bridle, looking after each other. Sweet William was a neck up, actually.'

Wise Approach makes his mark in Newbury feature
Charlie Appleby's Mehmas colt – who cost a million guineas as a yearling – is a half-sibling to the Group-placed Golden Mind and multiple Group One winner Perfect Power, and was last seen finishing second to Charles Darwin in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot. That was a Group Two event and he therefore stepped down in grade to Listed level but back up in trip to six furlongs at Newbury, starting as the 11-10 favourite and registering an easy four-length victory under William Buick. 'It was a nice performance, he ran a good race at Ascot when he was on a different side of the track to the winner,' the rider told Sky Sports Racing. 'He was more comfortable back at six. I like what he did there, it was a nice smooth performance and I think he's a horse who will get better. 'He looked a good deal better than the opposition there and he certainly deserves to have a look at those targets (the Gimcrack and the Middle Park). 'I think he will develop, he's a scopey horse and he was very natural from early on, but I do think he'll keep getting better.'
