Setback puts Friendly Soul plans on hold
Both the Lockinge and Brigadier Gerard had been earmarked for the high-class four-year-old's reappearance, while she held entries for both the Queen Anne and Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot. However, Friendly Soul was removed from both contests at the most recent entry stage, with no set timescale for her comeback. 'She's just had a setback and hopefully we will see her later on in the season,' explained Thady Gosden. 'We'll have to wait and see and she is obviously an extremely high-class filly, so she will be given all the time she needs. 'Sadly her mother, In Clover, who was one of the greatest broodmares of recent times, passed away recently. 'She's a very exciting for Mr (George) Strawbridge and a home-bred filly of course and hopefully she will be back later in the year.' The four-year-old retains entries for the Coral-Eclipse and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe later in the season.

Sardinian Warrior might have earned Ascot ticket
John and Thady Gosden's four-year-old was only beaten a length by the top-class winner, who is now heading for the Coral-Eclipse. Connections believe the nine-furlong trip stretched his stamina and a return to a mile is in store, potentially in the Queen Anne. 'It was a good move to go there. What we learned in doing that was a mile is definitely his trip,' said owner Marc Chan's racing manager, Jamie McCalmont. 'The winner is a top-class horse and to be beaten only a length by a horse of that class when we probably ran out of gas, I think it was a lot better run that it looks. 'Normally I have a bit of a meltdown after finishing second as I often think we've been unlucky, but on this occasion we were unlucky when Andre Fabre supplemented the winner on Thursday – that's when it got unlucky! 'He's a cool horse, he's got a great mind and he's a horse to like. 'We'll see how he comes out of the race, the Queen Anne is not set in stone at this point but it is very tempting.'
