Kingsgate To Have a Go!
The Sir Michael Stoute-trained Kingsgate Native is on course for Haydock's Betfred Sprint Cup on Saturday.
The five-year-old won the Temple Stakes at the Merseyside track back in May but needs to bounce back to form after disappointing in the Nunthorpe at York.
Chris Richardson, managing director of the owners Cheveley Park Stud, said: "I think the plan is for him to go to Haydock and he has been in good form since York. We were obviously a bit disappointed with him there, but the race wasn't really run to suit."
Richardson went on: "They just went a bit too quick for him but he wasn't given a hard time and came out of the race well, so we just hope that he gets a bit of luck in running next time.
"We're certainly hoping for a better performance. The ground should be right for him, he's won at Haydock this year and I think nowadays six furlongs is more his ideal trip than five. We'll just have to see how he gets on."
