With my original selection Primo Lara scratched this morning due to being cast in his box the new selection in the 1M 2F class 2 Golden Gates Handicap for three year olds is the Aidan O’Brien trained Old Faithful. The Irish handler has had yet another stellar week and he may have a few pounds in hand off of a mark of 89. He’s won his last two starts, been produced late at Naas and Navan and in a an open looking handicap can form part of a decent day for jockey Ryan Moore who has fancied runners in all seven races.

After a bloodless success over 1m2f at Windsor last time, APPROVAL could be anything and this exciting proposition could make a mockery of an opening handicap mark of 90. William Haggas' charge barely saw another rival on that occasion and showed a likeable attitude to race clear in the closing stages, looking better the further he went. The main danger could be fellow prominent racer Hand Of God, who justified a short price to win the Esher Cup over 1m at Sandown in April and will likely appreciate this extra yardage. The hat-trick seeking Old Faithful appears to be Aidan O'Brien's first string, while stablemate Cambridge returns to handicap company after running with credit in Group company. Andrew Balding saddled Foxes Tales to victory in 2021 and he's represented by Portsmouth.

Golden Gates Stakes Overview

Recently added to the Royal Ascot schedule in 2020, the Golden Gates Stakes is already proving to be a popular race with racegoers and punters alike. The race has only had four renewals so far so it is still in its infancy.

The race tends to see a classy winner prevail and go on to bigger and better things in horse racing. So it’s certainly a race that can provide a glimpse into the future of the sport. Two of the previous winners have been priced at 20/1 (Highland Chief in 2020 and Burdett Road in 2023) heading into the race showing that the smart money could be in backing the outsiders.
