Kingman facing classic test

Kingman puts his Classic aspirations on the line in the Aon Greenham Stakes at Newbury.

The John Gosden-trained colt is third favourite at a top-priced 7-1 for the Qipco 2000 Guineas, as much as for his reputation at home as his achievements on the track.

He has done what has been asked of him with victories in both his starts as a two-year-old – a six-length romp in a Newmarket maiden followed by a cosy success in a four-runner affair for the Group 3 Solario Stakes at Sandown at the end of August.
