Gosden mare a real classy operator

An 11-runner field has turned out to contest the prize won by Aidan O’Brien’s Minding 12 months ago, and the popular trainer goes looking to land a hat-trick, with Diamondsandrubies coming out on top in 2015. That ensures Pocketfullofdreams and Rain Goddess will be extremely popular in the betting, but we’re going to swerve the pair and take a shot on Journey.

Representing John Gosden, the classy five-year-old mare has already proven her worth over the one mile two furlongs trip, and has also shown she can more than hold her own in this sort of company, winning the group one British Champions Fillies and Mares Stakes at Ascot last year. Going off at a handy SP, she finished a convincing winner that day, trailing Speedy Boarding home by four lengths.
