Over to Too Darn Hot's big sis now to cap a golden autumn for Gosden

For the second time inside a week John Gosden mined a diamond with blunted instruments. After Enable plundered the Arc when less than fully primed, Too Darn Hot made light of becoming entangled in Newmarket's Dip to run out a convincing winner of the Dewhurst Stakes.

The colt's victory propelled Gosden ever closer to a third trainers' title on an afternoon when racegoers basked in unseasonably warm weather. The Indian summer makes an apposite metaphor for Gosden's golden autumn, which looks set to endure until the curtain falls on Champions Day at Ascot next Saturday.

On that day Gosden will saddle hot favourite Lah Ti Dar in the British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes, and if she proves as resolute as her younger brother was here, Gosden will put enough prize-money between himself and Aidan O'Brien to put the trainers' title beyond all doubt. In that event he will have to throw a second staff party to augment the one he was due to host on Saturday night in lieu of Enable's triumph in Paris.
