Publish schedule will follow some classy names

Publish will follow in the footsteps of some illustrious names when he returns to Sandown for the Betmgm Solario Stakes later this month.

John and Thady Gosden’s son of Kingman is already well accustomed to the Esher track having run there in both of his starts to date, winning impressively last time out when getting the better of Charlie Appleby’s Catullus.

As short as 10-1 with Ladbrokes and Coral for next year’s 2000 Guineas, the exciting colt will now get the chance to not only emulate his father, but also Clarehaven stablemate Field Of Gold who won the Group Three event in the Juddmonte silks 12 months ago.

“He’s a lovely colt and a horse that we like a lot,” said Barry Mahon, European racing manager for owners Juddmonte.

“He will probably follow a route similar to Field Of Gold and go back to Sandown for the Solario Stakes on his next start.

“It should suit him going back to Sandown, John and Thady have used that route for some nice horses and obviously Kingman and Field Of Gold are two who have won it. Now he’s had his two runs I think we will stick to that plan.

“James Doyle was very complimentary of him and the only thing he did say was the ground was on the soft side that day and he would appreciate better ground, which is something we’ll bear in mind going forward. But he’s very much a nice colt.”
