Gosden looking for a Precious win at Brighton

Tips: Ideal chance for lightly-raced four-year-old to get back on track

- The Ferret

John Gosden’s string are just clicking into gear and he looks to have solid claims with PRECIOUS RAMOTSWE in the EBF Stallions Breeding Winners Fillies’ Handicap at Brighton.

Owned like Golden Horn by Anthony Openheimer, the lightly-raced fouryear-old has only managed three starts.

She got her career off to the perfect start at Kempton in December 2016 when winning a one-mile maiden comfortabl­y.

Unfortunat­ely she was held up the following season by a series of niggly problems and was not back out until the following October, when she won a Newbury handicap off a mark of 81.

Attempting to back up very quickly less a month later, she ran no sort of race in a Listed contest in France but was beaten far enough to be able to say she did not give her true running.

Back in handicap company and closer to home she should be able to get her career back on the right track, before the search for black type will be on the Nathaniel filly’s agenda.

The ground will be very soft at Nottingham but that has never stopped Tim Easterby’s MULTELLIE, who is beginning to look well handicappe­d for something like the Bet & Watch At 188Bet.co.uk Handicap.

SELECTIONS: BRIGHTON: 2.20 Wedding Date, 2.50 Rocky Shores, 3.25 Rose Berry, 3.55 PRECIOUS RAMOTSWE (NAP), 4.25 With Approval, 4.55 Bounty Pursuit, 5.25 Archimento.

NOTTINGHAM: 2.00 Red Handed, 2.30 Mushtaq, 3.00 Cosmopolit­an Queen, 3.35 Seduce Me, 4.05 Double Reflection, 4.35 Multellie, 5.05 Dotted Swiss.

DOUBLE: Precious Ramotswe and Chynna.
