John Gosden rather hogged the Group 2 headlines at York on Thursday and the Newmarket trainer looks to have another string to add to that bow with Stradivarius in the feature Mansionbet Yorkshire Cup.

As York comes to a conclusion so Newbury starts its two-day Al Shaqab Lockinge meeting, with Newmarket and later Hamilton plus Cork in Ireland in the late afternoon making it five Flat meetings.

Aintree's popular evening meeting and Downpatrick in Northern Ireland add some jumping action after the nine-to-fivers have finished work.

The best of Racing Post Sport

The domestic football season may be ending with the FA Cup final to come but this week's announcement of England's World Cup squad to travel to Russia next month gives plenty for Bruce Millington, Dan Childs and Paddy Power's Jason Murphy to talk about in this week's Postcast.


Final thought

John Gosden made it 50 winners in 2018 with his fourth of the day at Newmarket on Friday evening and has the chance to make it three York Group 2s in a row with Stradivarius.
