Triple Group 1 winner Ombudsman is set to warm up for Royal Ascot at either Sandown or the Curragh before he bids for back-to-back wins in the Prince of Wales's Stakes.
John and Thady Gosden are considering another crack at Sandown's Group 3 Star Sports Brigadier Gerard Stakes with their five-year-old, who finished second to Almaqam in the 1m2f contest last year under a 3lb penalty.
The Godolphin star also has an entry in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh on May 24, where he would attempt to become the first British-trained winner of the Group 1 since the William Haggas-trained Alenquer in 2022.
