Field Of Gold ready to resume faster work ahead of QEII return

Field Of Gold returned lame after his defeat in the Sussex Stakes

Field Of Gold is expected to step up his work in the coming days as he closes in on a planned return to action in next month’s Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot.

John and Thady Gosden’s grey was brilliant in winning the Irish 2,000 Guineas and the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot and returned lame after suffering a shock defeat on his most recent appearance in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood in late July.

Having been given time to recover, the son of Kingman is back on the go and connections are optimistic he will be ready to take up his engagement on Qipco British Champions Day, ground permitting.

Barry Mahon, racing manager for owners Juddmonte, said: “He’s on track for Ascot. We obviously had to give him a break after Goodwood, which wasn’t our intention but we had to give him a break because he was lame.

“I think he’s due to start faster work towards the weekend or early next week. I don’t know if we want heavy ground, so that will be a hurdle we’ll have to jump nearer the time when we see what the ground conditions are, but we’re very much on track and looking forward to seeing him back.”
