Gosden’s Eagle to land at Newbury

Top-class middle-distance performer Eagle Top will bid to open his account for the campaign in the Dubai Duty Free Legacy Cup at Newbury today.

The Pivotal colt was originally declared for both this Group Three event and the Listed Doonside Cup at Ayr, but trainer John Gosden has confirmed he will be in action at Newbury.

Eagle Top will be enjoying a significant drop in class in a race registered as the ‘Arc Trial’ after going down a nose to Postponed in a pulsating renewal of the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot in July.
