Richard Pankhurst returns to the racecourse on Thursday 14 months after he was an exciting, impressive winner at Royal Ascot, with his trainer, John Gosden, hoping to make hay in what remains of the year.
The colt was as short as 9-1 for the 2,000 Guineas when suffering a setback in April and now resumes his career in a low-profile contest at Haydock worth £11,000 to the winner.
“He was due to run in the Craven Stakes but then he was lame after work on the Saturday beforehand and that was that,” Gosden said on Wednesday. “He’s ready to run. They’ve had rain again there today and he’s a top-of-the-ground horse but I think we’d better get on and run him, even if it is on the easy side.”
