York the perfect stage for Gift

Godolphin’s Stage Gift is making a habit of being cast as the stable second string but it has not stopped him picking up two valuable contests this season.

Fresh from a Group Three victory at Longchamp on his last start when overlooked by Frankie Dettori, this time it was Kerrin McEvoy who swerved him in favour of Winged Cupid in the Sky Bet York Stakes on the Knavesmire.
