The Gosdens seek a strong pace for Ombudsman by adding stablemate Devil’s Advocate.

Overview

  • Devil’s Advocate was supplemented for £75,000 into the Qipco Champion Stakes to act as a pacemaker for Ombudsman, repeating the York playbook that featured Birr Castle.
  • Prix Dollar winner First Look was also added to the Champion Stakes by Wathnan Racing and Andre Fabre as final fields took shape.
  • Seven supplementary entries were confirmed across the five Group 1 races, including Marvelman for the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, One Look for the Fillies & Mares, Rosy Affair and Rayevka for the Sprint, and Stay True for the Long Distance Cup.
  • The Champion Stakes is set to feature leading contenders Ombudsman, Delacroix and Calandagan, with confirmations also listing Economics among a deep field.
  • Field Of Gold targets the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on his return, with Carl Spackler among potential rivals in a line-up that could also include Fallen Angel and Rosallion.
